Mount Gambier Race 5

Miller Timber Joinery Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

LUCKY VINCENT (5) has been producing some decent efforts in Victoria of late including a fifth last start at Horsham and a placing at Stawell four back. Talented and looks well placed in this line-up so goes on top. POACHERS DREAM (3) has some decent form under the belt including a second over this distance the last time she raced here. Draws well so expect her to pose a serious challenge. EASTBRO LUNA (4) draws wider but is on the radar after racing parked but sticking on for a last-start fourth at this circuit and distance. RUBYS REASON (1) drew very wide last start but came from this barrier when she placed two back at Melton.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Remarli at this track over 1780m on May 12 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Hawkesdale Deed at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a 3yo on June 6 at $61. Winning claims.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr7) over 2180m at Stawell beaten 30 m by Freak Out (2:45.50) on June 1 at $81. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 1700m at Horsham, beaten 30 m by Happily (2:03.40) on May 25 at $101. Hard to have on those efforts.
