Mount Gambier (G) Race 5

Commercial Hotel Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $1,667

MR. OBERON (2) goes very well this trip starting five times for two wins and two minors. Scored by 1.3 lengths last time (31.32) in a Grade 6 over 530m at Angle Park. Expected to be in the finish. MANNER OF STRIFE (1) jumped from this box and scored a Grade 5 win at Angle Park over 342m latest (19.52). Has a consistent record off this same draw, including a win and one minors. Expected to feature again. IMPOSTER (7) is a talented dog who is a winner of five races but missed the frame last time when eighth at this track (24.58). Comes through a solid form race last start. Likely to play a prominent role. INDIE OR JILL (4) placed when heading the market last time - cannot be ignored.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.31), beating Bourne Sarah. Will find this a bit tougher, tested under these conditions.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing sixth (23.84) at Horsham. Drawn out wide and needs to find best form to feature.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on December 15 over 400m at this track behind Compton Copy beaten 23 lengths (24.58) in a Grade 6. Placed two back at Horsham. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Recorded a 2.5 lengths win (23.33) in a TG1-4W last time at this track. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.
