Saturday racing heads to Murray Bridge, with the rail out +3m (1200m chute) and the remainder true.

Light showers are forecast and the track is currently rated Soft 5, with conditions likely to edge into Soft 6 territory mid-program if the rain eventuates.

Historically this setup plays fairly, though there is often slight value in leaders and rails-in-run types on the drying ground.

Look for chute races to generate stronger tempo, and inside barriers may become more valuable later in the day as the track wears.

Early value presents in Race 2 and Race 6, with strong setups for two runners who map to their advantage and appeal at each-way prices.

Best Bets for Murray Bridge from Heath Pope 12/7/25

Race 2 #2 Fiasco Tess $4.20

Fiasco Tess brings strong metro form into this, off a solid win at Morphettville Parks.

While the wide-turning Murray Bridge circuit poses a different challenge, she’s shown adaptability, notably with a competitive run at Flemington two starts back (beaten just 1L in a BM78).

She maps to settle just off the speed in this small field and has tactical versatility that doesn't rely on tempo collapse or pattern.

With even speed predicted and a soft trail expected, she’s nicely placed to strike and $4.50 is solid overs relative to her rating.

Rated Price: $3.40

Top Contenders:

Fiasco Tess – $3.40
Starts Now – $3.90
Snoopy Now – $5.20
Katim’s Club – $7.80
Under The Cone – $9.00

Race 6 #1 Lim’s Bighorn $10.00

Lim’s Bighorn continues to improve and hits this third-up.

A scenario in which he’s previously struck form (2-from-2 record).

From barrier 3, he maps to lead in a field that lacks early speed.

Despite the long Murray Bridge straight, leaders can be underestimated, particularly with the rail out and a drying surface.

If allowed to dictate, this ex-Singapore galloper has the toughness to fend them off late.

Currently priced at $10, he shapes as a standout overlay and a strong each-way option.

Rated Price: $4.60

Top Contenders:

Lim’s Bighorn – $4.60
Voltage Point – $5.60
Rich Gina – $7.20
Fast Bubbles – $10.00
Star Sirius – $11.00
