Murray Bridge   11 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

Gifford Hill Estate Handicap (Heat of Sportsbet Riziz Series) 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Good early pressure with Mercury Eight or Capitalex likely to take up the running. Competitive race with several progressive sprinters lining up. GINGER SINNER (5) ran well first-up and the form has been franked via the winner. No doubt that he is better suited over 1100m and will have taken benefit from the first-up run. 3kg claim for an in-form apprentice and a low draw will give him every chance and we're getting a nice price to back him each-way. STREETCAR FURY (9) has been a frustrating horse for punters but he can improve back to the big, open expanses of Murray Bridge. He will get his chance to win. ROUND TWO (8) has really come of age this campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence. He will go forward, make his own luck and take some catching. CAPITALEX (11) can make the step to this grade and run well, while RICHE D'AMOUR (1) is the class horse with the big weight that cannot be ignored. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Ginger Sinner each-way.
