Mount Gambier Race 2

David Drury Harness Racing Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

KEAYANG VIPER (6) resumes from a spell of 18 months having raced just once, winning over 1700m at Horsham. Has had a long time off but was readied with a trial. Will have plenty of admirers. LIVERMERE (2) turned in a much better run last time out when she scored over 1700m at Horsham, getting home by 5.5 metres after leading. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Capable of another big performance. DOCTOR GO JOH (7) is the next best after finishing third at this circuit and distance last time out, giving him a win and two placings from the last three starts. WHENIMREADY (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 2080m at Cranbourne and gets the ace draw.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 5.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at Horsham (2:05.10) beating Torque In Heaven in on June 22 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 1.5. Big chance of back-to-back wins.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 1780m after being wide early at this track, beaten 7 m by Smokin Strepo (2:14.80) on June 9 at $2.20. At the start before 4th (Fr1) over 2180m after showing early speed at Stawell was leading by 1.3 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Freak Out (2:45.50) on June 1 at $7.50. Goes very well at this circuit so worth another chance.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 2200m after being wide early at Horsham beaten 30 m by Presidentialchange (2:46.70) on June 22 at $151. Before that 6th (Fr4) over 1780m after showing early speed at this track beaten 70 m by Ittakesluv (2:10.60) on June 9 at $81. Needs to do more. Others rate better.
