Mount Gambier Race 6

Green Triangle Livestock & Real Estate Trotters Mobile

Stake: $5,130

ALDEBARAN ANTON (6) finished second at this track two runs ago then settled back and failed to finish off well enough at his latest appearance over 2200m at Horsham. Big chance if anywhere near his best. MOONSHINE PENNY (5) has been in the money three times from as many runs this prep and went close again last start over 2190m here, finishing second and 8 metres from the winner. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. ITGETSBETTER (1) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this circuit over 2190m. Must be included from the pegs draw. CAITHNESS LADY (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1700m at Horsham last time out. Can trouble the judge from the favourable draw.

Two back was third behind Coconut Mickey at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 50 on November 18 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Stockman Peter at this track over 2190m in a No NR on December 2 at $3.60. Great chance to break through.
