Murray Bridge   18 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Thomas Farms Maiden Plate 1200m

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

Hecs Debt is expected to lead at a keen tempo. TOTTORI (6) is a first starter by Territories for the sharp R & C Jolly stable. Impressed in winning a trial at Murray Bridge in readiness. Toeroek sticks from trial. Can make an immediate impact. MERCURY EIGHT (4) wasn't far away on debut here in July but hasn't quite been able to go on with it. Has been freshened with a trial in between to keep the legs ticking over. Watch for sharp improvement. VELVET GEM (13) chased gamely to just miss the minors when resuming here two weeks ago. Fitter now and is expected to make her presence felt. A smaller case can also be made for the resuming FLYING YANK (8). SUGGESTED PLAY: With Tottori to win on debut.
