Mount Gambier Race 5

Commercial Hotel (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division3

Stake: $1,166

LIE TO ME (1) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (30.47) in a OPEN at this track. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SUDOKU JAXON (7) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (19.91) at Angle Park. Returns to a course where he has performed well. Can measure up this time. YVONNE'S PICK (8) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 0.8 lengths away in second (23.40) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Will give a great sight again. SOONER OR LATER (2) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.45) over 400m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Worth including.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth on August 3 over 400m at this track behind Is He Happy, beaten 3 lengths (23.56) in a Grade 5. Can't make much of a case this time.
