Nominations closed on Wednesday, with the ballot order determined.
Incumbent Helen Dalton, now an independent, drew eighth on the ballot.
Her biggest rival, Nationals hopeful Peta Betts, drew fourth on the ballot.
Adrian Carle from the Legalise Cannabis Party drew the top spot on the ballot.
Labor’s candidate is Griffith-based Max Buljubasic.
Mr Buljubasic is no stranger to the voters, having run for the party in 2015 when he polled 16.2 per cent primary vote against the then incumbent and Nationals politician Adrian Piccoli.
Three independents, including Mrs Dalton, have thrown their hat into the ring.
Greg Adamson, who is based at Griffith, and the Wakool-based David Landini are the other two independents.
The Shooters, Fishers and Farmers will be looking to take back the seat of Murray with its candidate Desiree Gregory.
When elected in 2019 Ms Dalton was with SFF, but parted ways with the party in March last year.
It was after the party’s upper house members abstained from voting on a disallowance motion for floodplain harvesting, which Mrs Dalton considers a key policy for her constituency.
Kevin Farrell (Public Education Party), Michael Florance (Sustainable Australia Party) and Amelia King (The Greens) round out the candidates.
Sportsbet had Murray being retained by an independent as the most likely scenario yesterday, at $1.50 odds.
The odds of Ms Betts winning the seat were at $2.50, followed by Mr Buljubasic at $26 and Ms King at $51.
Labor is the $1.25 favourite to win the overall election from the Coalition at $4.25.
All candidates in ballot order are: Adrian Carle (Legalise Cannabis Party); Max Buljubasic (Labor); Michael Florance (Sustainable Australia Party); Peta Betts (The Nationals); Kevin Farrell (Public Education Party); Desiree Gregory (Shooters, Fishers and Farmers); Amelia King (The Greens); Helen Dalton (Independent); Greg Adamson (Independent); David Landini (Independent).
