Mount Gambier Race 3

COLLINS COURT BUTCHER (N/P) STAKE PR2 Division1

Stake: $1,305

RUSTY WHEELS (6) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (17.86) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Has good speed so he should be prominent despite the draw. Key chance in this line up. LEKTRA HANK (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.58) last time in a Other at this track. Has a good record here including five wins. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. In the mix. SMART OPERATOR (4) was checked in the run when sixth in a Invitation at this track last time over 305m, finishing 54 lengths from the winner (21.47). Has Box 4 this time where he has a win. Solid beginner and with a good start can clear the tricky draw. Rates a key player and gets chance to atone. CLASSY WILLOW (1) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Has ability and can run well.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 17.92, beating Kahu. Last start finished last on May 14 over 305m at this track behind Flying Hugo beaten 22 lengths (18.77) in a Other. Prepared to overlook.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (23.43) over 400m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.

Was out of placings last time (23.58) at this track in a Other, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 14 starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.
