GOING: G

Carlton Draught Murray Bridge Gold Cup - Sat 12 Oct Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 7m 1200m Chute. Out 10m Remainder. (Pent: 5.5).  

A slick tempo on the cards with Holpin and Fine Future battling for the lead ahead of Ruscheyne and Mateo. FINE FUTURE (1) missed by a narrow margin when resuming in town last month. Not as effective here last start but should be peaking now as he drops back to 1200m. Leading player. WHISKERS HARBOUR (13) is an Ocean Park gelding on debut for the smart R & C Jolly camp who have a terrific record with first starters. Drawn sticky but gets a key booking in Toeroek and strips fitter for a nice trial here in readiness. Can make a bright start. GOONSUN (2) only warmed to his task late on debut at Strathalbyn, taking good ground off his rivals late. Blinkers going on first time will have him focused but he draws poorly again. Crowther sticking a big push. GIN RUMMY (9) will no doubt come on with the debut run under the belt. Draws better and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Fine Future.
