Mount Gambier Race 12

Gordon Refrigeration Open Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: -

PRICKLE TOWN (6) scored (30.02) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. IMPOSTER (4) hit the frame last time at Murray Bridge but the start prior rocketed around 300m at Murray Bridge Straight in 16.73. Has the ability and can find winning form again. CADILLAC RAGTOP (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 23.30 beating Rocklea Earle. Should be in this for a long way. MISTER CADILLAC (2) generally performs well from this box.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fifth (23.93) at Horsham. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw but looks a each way chance only this field.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Murray Bridge Straight over 300m. Last start finished 2nd over 300m at Murray Bridge beaten 2 lengths (16.65) behind Is He Lucky in a Grade 5 on July 27. Has a strong record from box 4, including two wins. Go close.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 3.5 lengths winner (30.02) over 512m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 400m at this track in a handy (23.17), beating Cadillac Ragtop. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to recommend this time.
