Mount Gambier Race 9

Metal Worx (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division2

Prize Money: $1,070

RUSTY WHEELS (2) charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 9 length winner (23.40) over 400m at this track. One of the key runners again. ASTON DARWIN (6) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when second (29.95) at this track in a Other. Expected to do much better this time. ASTON JIMENA (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (23.74) at this track behind Compton Copy in a Other. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Will give a great sight again. LEKTRA HANK (8) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 23.40 last start, beating Western Empire. Consistent performer from this draw. Top chance on best form.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.35) over 400m at this track. Awkwardly drawn and appears tested on latest effort.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 512m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (30.28) behind Rivia Umiko in a Other on February 26. Placed two back at this track. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Most recently finished 4th in a Other on March 5 over 400m at this track behind Rusty Wheels beaten 17 lengths (24.59). Capable of a good showing.
