GOING: G(4)

2025 Gawler Cup Tickets On Sale Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True.  

King Edward and Perilous Lass look to take it up. PRINCESS ON PALM (11) looks ready to win. She had to concede a start from the wide draw last start and was finding the line better than any of her rivals. She's drawn low so might be able to settle closer here, especially up to 1500m. KING EDWARD (3) is another that can improve up in distance. Todd Pannell goes on and he will be hitting the line. PAGANINI (4) has been improving throughout his preparation and found the line very well over 1350m last start. Drawn a middle gate so it will be interesting to see if Murtagh rolls the dice and tries to settle a tad closer. SUPREME VALKYRIE (12) has placed in three of her nine starts and is a place chance again, while CITY PRO (2) is better than last start and can run a cheeky race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Princess On Palm to win.
