Mount Gambier Race 6

Federal Hotel (Pbd Data N/P) Stake Pr2 Division2

Prize Money: $1,005

HE'S A TYCOON (4) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 0.8 lengths (23.23) at this track. Should be in this for a long way. COME ON LUBA (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (23.54) at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Can do much better this time. COSTLY HABITS (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.36) at this track behind HE'S A TYCOON in a TG1-4W. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Bold showing expected. LINDA LOU (7) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Missed the frame latest (23.54) when fifth over 400m at this track in a TG1-4W. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Showed good improvement when third behind He's A Tycoon at this track last start over 400m (23.36). Likely to play a major role.

Comes off a (23.23) win last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a TG1-4W over 400m at this track. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.29) over 400m at this track. Wide draw here. One of the better hopes.
