Murray Bridge Race 8

Daish Irrigation And Fodder Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $2,009

GOLD BENZ (8) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage second (25.78) at this track. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including three wins, from five starts. One of the contenders. REDTAIL COCKATOO (2) recorded his best time this course and distance latest, finishing a 0.8 lengths second behind Mikaela's Joy in 25.8. Has the ability and can measure up. TRENTINO (5) doesn't win out of turn. Finished third (25.84) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Bold showing expected. OAKVALE COWBOY (6) justified the favourite's tag last time and is sure to feature again.

Missed the frame last time when eighth (34.82) at Angle Park. Prior to that had been racing well. Nicely drawn on the inside but looks safely held.

Latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 6 on June 13 over 455m at this track behind Mikaela's Joy beaten 0.8 lengths (25.80). Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 400m at Gawler in a handy 22.97, beating Goldie Rusty. In form and is right in the mix again.

Placed last time (25.78) at this track in a Grade 6, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Boasts three wins and two places from five starts off the draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.
