Mount Gambier Race 5

Bucik Tyrepower Trotters Mobile (Sky 2)

Stake: $5,130

ITGETSBETTER (2) put the writing on the wall when placed two back then dug deep to salute last start at Ararat, getting home by 1.5 metres. Led there so has the gate speed to take advantage of this draw. Big chance again. BILLY BAGGINS (1) was in the market on debut at Geelong two weeks ago but broke. Better for the experience and gets the ace draw. Could threaten with manners. MOONSHINE PENNY (5) ended last prep with consistent form, last seen when second here in June. Won her lone fresh attempt so looks capable of a forward showing. ALDEBARAN ANTON (7) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third at Ararat and draws for a trail.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run 9th (FT Fr1) over 2160m at Hamilton well beaten by Love Ya Brother (2:46.60) in NR 30 on May 15 2023 at $61. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr1) over 1790m at Ararat, beaten 50 m by Shes Sky High (2:18.30) in NR up to 49 on October 27 at $151. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 20 m by The Night Queen (2:49.50) in NR up to 39 on September 16 at $17. Will not find this easy. Wait until the form picks up.

Resuming after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Aldebaran Buddy at this track over 2190m in a No NR on June 17 at $5. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 3 m win when quickly away, (Fr4) at Bendigo (2:05.90) beating Oprah Double You in MAIDEN M on September 11 2024 at $9. Looking for a good return.
