Gawler Race 1

Northern Vermin Services Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $1,771

Good quality field to start the evening and like ESSAY BREAD (1) from the rails draw. Good 3rd in fast time on the Straight at Murray Bridge last week and is well drawn on the fence. NANGAR EXPRESS (4) is racing in good touch and looks suited to this trip. AIR PUMBAA (5) won well at Angle Park Monday and is right in the mix in the small field.
