Mount Gambier Race 11

Todd's Photographics Mixed Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $1,892

IS HE LUCKY (7) has a strong record here with four wins and a minor from six starts. Hit the frame latest (22.20) when third at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Looks suited and should go close. NUMEROUS (1) ran good time (19.47) when placing two back at Murray Bridge but missed the frame latest in a Grade 4/5 at Warrnambool. Can turn it around this time. SMART OPERATOR (8) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (22.47) at Warrnambool in Grade 5 over 390m. Should feature again. ARGYLE KINLOCH (4) cannot be underestimated.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Special conditions race at Murray Bridge. Expected to push the clock again here.
