Mount Gambier Race 5

Greg Martlew Autos (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division1

Prize Money: $1,070

HIGHWAY (1) copped a check in the run last time and never threatened when sixth (23.72) in a Grade 6 at Gawler. Looks the one to beat on best. UDANI BALE (6) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 400m behind Barra Banjo (24.01) in a Grade 5. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Should be in this for a long way. IMPOSTER (3) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from five starts. In the money last time at Murray Bridge (16.86) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 4 length third. Suited here and expected to run well. CHEQUES TO BURN (8) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Comments

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last on February 26 over 400m at Gawler behind Binnaway Sands beaten 12 lengths (23.72) in a Grade 6. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (23.46) at big odds over 400m at this track. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length third (16.86) over 300m at Murray Bridge. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4.5 lengths in 23.29, beating Kerry's Cadillac. Last start finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 4 lengths (23.67) behind Red To Burn in a Other on March 6. This looks too tough.

Last start finished seventh in a Other on February 6 over 512m at this track behind Sher Zany, beaten 9 lengths (30.66). Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.27), beating High Cube. Looks a solid contender.
