Mount Gambier Race 2

Commercial Hotel (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division1

Stake: $1,106

SHERRY CHERRY (5) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (17.29) at Healesville. Top prospect. FINNISS SPARK (8) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at this track over 305m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance. ASTON CHIEF (4) showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 400m this track in 23.65. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Better than last start and can bounce back. DUG'S SISTER (7) is in the mix following a brief let-up.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at Healesville over 300m. Not doing enough to be considered.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (23.65) over 400m at this track. Holds top-three claims.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 12 lengths behind Rivia Akira over 512m. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
