Mt Gambier tips and results

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.60 · Dominic Tourneur

Meadows Flyer steps down dramatically in class after racing in Open company as a 2YO. The heavy track is an unknown, but many in this field lack heavy form. If she handles the ground, her class edge could be decisive. A strong each-way chance.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Tom Madden

Vosstaniya is a debutant with strong trainer/jockey statistics. Shane Jackson's stable is in good form, and Tom Madden rides well at Mt Gambier. The wide draw is a concern, but the expected fast tempo may allow her to slot in. A place chance if she handles the heavy conditions.

Our price $10.00 · SP $16.00 · Margaret Collett

Written By Betsy is a debutant with a solid trial and a good barrier. The inside draw is helpful on heavy ground, and the stable/jockey combination has a respectable record.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Brooke King

Zarubina is the one with the most compelling heavy-track credentials in this maiden. Her two seconds on Heavy 9 and Heavy 8 at Balaklava and Gawler demonstrate she handles the grind. She trialled well recently and has a respectable first-up record. The wide draw is a concern, but outside barriers have won at Mt Gambier on heavy. She is the most likely winner.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Campbell Rawiller

Rhinestone Rory has been in strong form with a maiden win at Bordertown followed by a close second at this track over 1550m on Soft 7. The 5yo gelding has placed 8 times from 39 starts but struggles to win. However, he maps to settle on the pace and the moderate tempo will suit. Jockey Campbell Rawiller is excellent at Mt Gambier (25% wins). The step up to 2050m is a query but he has placed over 2100m before.

He has barrier 2 allowing him to park just behind the leaders. The barrier blanket first time may help settle. He is a 5yo who has placed on heavy before.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Campbell Rawiller

El Paso Citie is a model of consistency with a fine record over 1200m and a good course history. She drops slightly in class and returns to a track where she has placed.

Our price $10.00 · SP $8.00 · Dominic Tourneur

Shout Me has a strong affinity with Mt Gambier, placing in three of four starts, and he won last time out on heavy ground. If he can repeat his recent performance, he represents excellent value for each-way backers.

Our price $6.67 · SP $13.00 · Cian Macredmond

The Mariner has been racing consistently in similar grades and showed improvement with a solid 3rd at Horsham on heavy ground. His soft track record is strong and he backs up quickly, which is a positive sign. Though drawn wide (15), he can roll forward or sit midfield.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Jacob Opperman

The fast tempo predicted could set up for a front-runner if he can control the race.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.50 · Tala Hutchinson

Mr Trafficanti is a consistent performer who recently won on a Soft 5 at Gawler. With a 2kg claim he gets in at just 55kg, which is ideal. He has placed at 1800m before and his recent sections are solid. He maps to settle midfield and should be finishing off strongly.

Our price $12.00 · SP $8.00 · Kate Walters

Spanish Snitzel is a wet track specialist who ran well on Heavy 10 at Hamilton last start, finishing second. He has 14 heavy track starts resulting in 2 wins and 2 places. Dropping back to BM58 with 55kg and barrier 2 is ideal. If the track continues to deteriorate, he could run a big race.

Our price $3.00 · SP $5.50 · Jackson Murphy

In That Mode is the clear top pick based on recent form, class edge, and raw speed. He has won two of his last three starts in higher grades and drops comfortably to BM58 level. The only concerns are his lack of heavy-track experience and top weight, but his soft-track record (1 win from 2) suggests he handles it. He maps to lead or sit on pace and should be hard to run down.

Our price $8.00 · SP $14.00 · Jacob Opperman

Supreme Thunder is an honest campaigner who produced a career-best performance last start to win at this course. His overall record at Mount Gambier is very solid and he drops slightly in class. The inside barrier (4) is neutral but he may need luck from midfield.

Our price $8.00 · SP $6.00 · Alysha Warren

He competed in far stronger races in NSW, including a Randwick Class 3, and now drops to a provincial BM58. The wide barrier is not ideal but the track bias data supports outside runners. If he adapts to the Mount Gambier circuit, he is clearly the best horse in the race.

Our price $8.00 · SP $11.00 · Dylan Caboche

Johnny Cigar is a Mt Gambier specialist with outstanding track and distance stats. He returned from a spell with a solid 3rd over 1400m on Soft7 here on May 22, beaten narrowly. That was a key lead-in, and stepping up to 1550m on a track he relishes should suit. Second-up stats are average, but his fresh run was encouraging and he can settle midfield and produce a sustained finish.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.50 · Kayla Crowther

Toes In First caught the eye with a driving 2nd over 1400m here on Soft7 on May 22, fighting on strongly. From barrier 1 under Kayla Crowther, he can settle forward and give a bold sight. The extra 150m should suit given his staying pedigree (dam side).

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Shuichi Terachi

That was her first run at the track and she handled it well. She drops 1kg from that run and gets a lovely draw. The jockey change is a concern but she has speed and can settle midfield.
