Murray Bridge   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G(4)

Murray Bridge Hotel Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 900m-400m, True Remainder.  

Solid tempo expected primarily from In Love and Caladan. MAJOR RUMBLE (8) returns and it's worth noting he was a dominant maiden winner here on debut back in July, in what proved a strong race. Has been readied with three hitouts and looks to have come on nicely. Can return with a bang. CALADAN (3) also resumes and has progressed well during the break, winning both jumpouts. Should find the front under Toeroek and is an obvious threat. ENUFF SEDUCTION (1) had conditions set up perfectly last time, slingshotting off a hot tempo to reel them in with ease. Doesn’t look as quick this time, so will need to settle closer. THE GOV (9) is ticking along well without winning. Has the pace to cross from the sticky draw and should give herself every chance again. Worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Major Rumble can return with a bang.
