Murray Bridge   15 Aug 2018
 
GOING: G

National Transport Ins. Mdn 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: True.  

Speculative how they settle but they should run along. Pace genuine with Bedloe's Island leading out Bundle O' Diamonds, Daskulya and Miss Elegance but plenty of first starters in the mix as well. DIVER made debut in Listed grade in Melbourne and wasn't disgraced. Given time and gelded and fitter for two trials since. Should go close with any luck from the gate. BUNDLE O' DIAMONDS is a speedy mare close to a win. Drawn perfectly here and will be in this for a long way. BRIMARVI VEHERO has been runner up at two of his three career starts and is close to a win. Will be winding up strongly. DASKULYA was runner up on debut and worth including in the main hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Diver if the money comes.
