Mount Gambier Race 9

Federal Hotel (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division3

Prize Money: $1,070

UNIQUE DESTINY (4) beaten last start over the 400m at this track but finished in the minors in a quick 23.15. Has the ability and expected to go close again. SMART OPERATOR (1) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Wind Whiskers (23.30) in a Grade 4/5. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Must be included in calculations. ASTON APATITE (3) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from four starts. Was out of the placings last time (23.54) at this track in a Other, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished 4th on August 21 over 400m at this track behind Cadillac Ragtop beaten 5.5 lengths (23.54) in a Other. Looks a solid contender.

Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just a nose but did clock a handy 23.15 over the 400m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Other on August 21 over 400m at this track behind Is He Happy beaten 7 lengths (23.64). Can't enthuse on this occasion.
