Murray Bridge Race 4

Sportsbet Racing Form Hcp (Bm56)

Prize Money: $25,000

FRANCE'S BOY (1) is a mighty old galloper for the Hickmott & Riggs camp. Lines up at start 175 and has produced efforts throughout this prep that can more than measure up. Will undoubtedly spear forward from his wide draw and give a bold sight. Good luck catching him if he steals a few slow sectionals through the middle. ROBERT THE PUSS (2) has a bit of his namesake about him as he seems to be forever running on. Will drift back again from the draw and hope they overdo it in front. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM (9) improved nicely second-up when sent forward but just tired late. Strips fitter on the rapid turnaround third-up and draws well under the very light weight thanks to the 4kg claim. Not dismissing. COVERT WITNESS (7) caught the eye fresh but has since struggled. Should find this a bit easier fourth-up and is in the mix.

Resuming after a six months break. Not seen since she finished last of 12 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw December 24 over 1350m, 11 len behind Vaniteux carrying 54.5kg at $151. On debut ninth of 13 at Morphettville 3yo Mdn-Sw November 4 over 1200m, soft track; 12 len behind Harmonic Dancer with 55.5kg at $51. Will take great benefit from this run.
