GOING: S(6)

Murray Bridge Septic Solutions Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute, True Remainder. (Pent: 6.45)  

Refreshing to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. NURYS (1) had been a frustration for punters but has finally found her groove this winter. The positives on Saturday are that she's drawn low and gets the services of Todd Pannell. Ratings suggest she's the best horse in the race and the one to beat. The queries are the big weight and whether the track will be wet enough for her. RUNAWAY STATEMENT (2) is a progressive mare that went close last start. She drops back 200m and looks the obvious danger. PULAMBI (10) has won at this track and distance and looks a top-three chance again. DAWNBURST (12) and LITTLEBOURKESTREET (7) are others with claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Nurys to win.
