Race Tip
LIMBERING (9) finished second at Morphettville two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6f at Murray Bridge, finishing 6 lengths back in ninth. Won't find this as tough so she is perfectly placed to score. CHARLESFORT (5) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 7f at Oakbank last time out. Felicity Atkinson who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. FINAL CHANCE (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at Gawler over 7½f, beaten 0.6 lengths. Change of jockey to Caitlin Tootell who has a strong record when aboard, including two wins. Has winning claims on best figures. MYRTLE CREEK (12) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only one length over 7f at Murray Bridge. Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.
