Mount Gambier Race 2

Anthony & Vee Rice Pace

Stake: $4,860

MARGARITARI (7) made it two in succession last start when she got the cash by 6 metres over 1780m at this track. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. GOLD IN PARIS (4) has been racing well of late. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1780m at this track, beaten by 6 metres. Meets a similar lineup and she is a strong winning hope. JOANIES A PEARLER (3) should be ready to peak now after finishing fourth over 1780m at this track a week ago. Expect her to give this a real shake. VISTA SIERRA (2) will be cherry-ripe after three runs back from a spell, the latest effort a third at this track a week ago. Watch closely.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1780m after showing early speed at this track beaten 40 m by Margaritari (2:16.70) in 2 Lifetime Wins on May 27 at $26. At the run before 6th (Sr1) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.1 beaten 18 m by The Tri Line (2:47.20) in NR up to 42 GROUP on May 13 at $11. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Deserves another chance.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1780m at this track, beaten 9 m by Margaritari (2:16.70) in 2 Lifetime Wins on May 27 at $26. Two runs back won by 2 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:17.60) beating Dark And Handsome in MAIDEN on May 13 at $1.75 at the bell was 3rd-6.2. Racing very well. Strong contender.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Always Dancing at this track over 1780m in a NR 43 to 49 on May 13 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Margaritari at this track over 1780m in a 2 Lifetime Wins on May 27 at $5.50. Leading player.
