Murray Bridge – Good (4)
Race 1 (11:27am) Festival Hire Handicap 1200m
No.6 NIGHTSTICK– Ben Price (Barrier 8)
NIGHTSTICK (8) heads to Murray Bridge on Saturday where he will contest a 1200m Handicap (Race 1, 11:27am). He has drawn gate eight and Ben Price will ride.
NIGHTSTICK made the trip over to Murray Bridge on Friday, There is some good horses in the race, but outside of the top four, the race falls away. With Ben Price’s claim onboard, this race maps to suit NIGHTSTICK’S race pattern as the big expanses of Murray Bridge and lightweight will allow him to settle towards the rear and be hitting the line strongly.

VAIN FOX travelled well across the border. He finds himself in a suitable race here today to finally knock off that maiden, There isn’t a lot of form and class in the race outside of the top few in the market. This looks like it will be a perfect trip for VAIN FOX to beat the maiden. (Stable)
