Murray Bridge Horse Racing Tips Sat 13/6/26

Soft 5 at Murray Bridge with showers about, and the markets have a couple of these races read wrong. Breathless Spirit at $3.60 in race 5 is the one we like best, but where it gets interesting is the longer ones the crowd seems happy to leave alone. Three we’re keen on across the nine, and two of them are paying more than they should.

8. Pretty Baby $8.50

Barrier 4 · Midfield · Genuine pace

Nose roll first time for #8 Pretty Baby, drawn 4, and she ran third coming back from a let-up. #1 Brave Hustler is $2.30 but has to do all the work from gate 7 in a 14-horse field with genuine speed on. I’d rather take $8.50 on the horse with the gear change and the better draw.

7. Breathless Spirit $3.60

Barrier 8 · Midfield · Genuine pace

#7 Breathless Spirit goes for three on the bounce and the setup suits. Won his last two, Opperman sticks for Archie Alexander, tongue tie on. With genuine speed up front, a midfielder from gate 8 lands in the right spot, not buried. At $3.60, take him.

7. Big Brute $5.00

Barrier 8 · Off Pace · Soft pace

$5 for #7 Big Brute. Surprise Coming’s $4.20 in front from gate 1, but he still has to hold them off himself over 1400m. Big Brute’s got three wins this prep, Holder up, and can pounce late. I’m with him.
