Metropolitan racing in South Australia heads to Murray Bridge on Saturday afternoon with nine races set down for decision. Perfect winter conditions are forecast for the region in the lead-up, so we expect to be on a Good 4 come raceday. The rail comes out 10m from the 1000m to the winning post, out 3m from the winning post to the 1600m, and out 7m in the 1200m chute. Racing is set to get underway at 11:32am ACST.
Best Bet at Murray Bridge – Dubenenko
Dubenenko has not raced since she fell in the Group 2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes at Flemington on March 11, when she was sent around as a second favourite behind Veight. The Russian Revolution filly has returned this campaign with two trial victories, and if she is anywhere near her best, the small field will suit perfectly and she should blow her rivals away. The fact we are getting even money about Dubenenko is a treat from online bookmakers.

Next Best at Murray Bridge – Dixie Whistler
Dixie Whistler is hard to catch, but she strikes a winnable race on the quick backup from a second-place finish behind Ferago at Morphettville. In that race on June 24, the mare finished three lengths off the winner but put four lengths on the rest. She has three runner-up efforts to her name from as many starts at the Murray Bridge 2500m but gets her chance to break that duck on Saturday. Alana Livesey’s 3kg claim gets the five-year-old in perfectly with 58.5kg, and with an economical run in transit, Dixie Whistler should prove to be the superior stayer.

Race 2 – 
#1 Dixie Whistler (4)

Best Value at Murray Bridge – Sea Witness
Sea Witness tired late in the piece at this track and trip on June 17; however, at a big price for a runner who will be giving his rivals something to chase over 1000m, it is simply too hard to pass up. He is a five-time winner on Good tracks, with another five minor placings to his name, so the firmer deck brings him right into this. From barrier two, Jason Holder will look to have Sea Witness flying along, and with a bit of luck, the pair can break their rivals’ hearts.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#2 Sea Witness (2)
5yo Gelding | T: Byron Cozamanis | J: Jason Holder (61kg)
