Prize Money: $1,610

NANGAR EXPRESS (4) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing third (22.74) and beaten 6 lengths over 395m at Murray Bridge. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including four wins, from eight starts. Can find winning form. ESSAY BREAD (1) three runs back produced a solid 19.58 win over 342m at Angle Park then has found the minor money in two runs since. Top win three back and rates a key player again. AIR PUMBAA (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at Angle Park in a handy 19.82 beating Gracious Gift. One of the prime contenders. PUMPKIN PARTY (2) cannot be ruled out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Murray Bridge Straight over 300m. Last start finished 3rd on January 5 over 395m at Murray Bridge behind Darcy Dakota beaten 6 lengths (22.74) in a OPEN. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 4, scoring four times. Go close.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 342m at Angle Park in a handy (19.82), beating Gracious Gift. Has claims if at his best.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 342m at Angle Park in a handy (19.70), beating Smooth Vixen. Will find this a bit tougher, not likely to feature on this occasion.

Was out of placings last time (26.04) at Murray Bridge in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from eight starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.
