Mt Gambier Race 3

Gambier Vets Trotters Handicap

Stake: $4,950

SHIELD MAIDEN (6) settled in front and kept going to record an emphatic 16 metres win last start over 2200m at Horsham. Leading hope in a similar race. SONARMI JOH (8) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, finishing sixth at Horsham over 2200m. He has the talent to bounce back. MAJESTIC CONNIES (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 2190m at this track. Should run a big race. EARL PATRICK (5) is worth some thought based on his second over 2190m at this track two runs ago.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after showing early speed, behind Ess Kay Hollywood at Warragul over 2210m in a NR up to 47 on October 28 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Caithness Lady at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 50 on December 10 at $2.50. Winning prospects.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 2200m at Horsham beaten 45 m by Old Villa Boy (2:42.90) in NR 50 to 55 on December 15 at $41. The start before 6th (FT Fr2) over 2600m at Stawell beaten 85 m by Wish Upona Dream (3:21.30) in No NR on December 1 at $51. Anticipate a far better run this time.
