MONTANA PARK SUPPORTS OUR EQUINE ATHLETES MOBILE PACE 1980m

Track: GOOD      

STUBING (3) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fourth over 2600m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. KOWHAI NUGGET (9) finished seventh last start, beaten 25 metres at this track over 2600m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SHADOW CREEK (1) disappointed last time when tenth over 2600m at this track. Can atone. BELMONT VALOR (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fifth at this track over 1980m.
