Mount Gambier   24 Apr 2024
 
GOING: S

The Essy Thompson Legend Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1405m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m 1550m-500m; True Remainder.  

Moderate tempo with Blue Pawsom leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. BULL DUST (1) was a beaten favourite at Penola last time out after getting a long way back in the running and to finish as close as he did was a very good run. He has been placed twice on this track in the past which is an advantage and from a superior gate he can settle a lot closer to the pace this time. He drops further in class and is ready to win. PRIZE LAD (7) is resuming down in class and he usually needs a run or 2 before hitting his straps. If the track is rain affected his chances soar. Include in all combinations. BLUE PAWSOM (4) should be nearing her peak fitness after 3 runs back from a spell for his new trainer and he is now ready to put his best hoof forward. LINES OF GLORY (5) is better than his form suggests and needed his last start for his new trainer Garret Lynch at Murray Bridge 3 weeks ago. His only career win came here and he is worth serious consideration. Each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bull Dust to win.
