The Murray stable have been regular visitors to the carnival over decades and will bring four horses to Sunday’s prelude meeting.
Direct Strategy will lead the charge in the $35,000 Magic Albert Murrumbidgee Cup (1800m), while Murray will have a two-pronged attack in the $30,000 Bede Murray Town Plate Prelude (1200m).
Murray will try and win the race named in father’s honour with Flash Fibian and Gold Horizon, while the Wagga-owned Griddlebone is the fourth of his runners in the $25,000 Audi Centre Wagga MTC Guineas Prelude (1400m).
Direct Strategy’s last two runs have been in $150,000 heats of the Provincial Championships over 1400m.
Direct Strategy loves the Wagga track and Murray rates the four-year-old as his best chance on Sunday.
