Gloucester Park Race 6

Aardiebytheseaside, 2024 Mares Classic Winner Ffa Ms Pace

Prize Money: $31,000

LUSAKA (2) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last 20 starts, most recently recording a third over 1730m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. LAVRA JOE (6) produced a better effort last start when he scored by 3.5 metres over 2130m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go right on with the job. HILLVIEW BONDI (1) is better than his last-start seventh over 2130m at this track. GALACTIC STAR (7) has a tough gate but is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2130m at this track on December 20.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Mister Smartee at this track over 2536m in a 4yo G1 GROUP 1 OPEN on December 13 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Hampton Banner at this track over 1730m in a 3yo+ Conditioned PACE on December 20 at $2.10. Expected to play a major role.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr7) over 2130m at this track, beaten 12 m by Lavra Joe (2:31.80) in 3yo+ FFA OPEN on December 20 at $41. Before that 3rd (Fr2) over 2536m at this track beaten 5.5 m by Tricky Miki (3:05.00) in 3yo+ FFA OPEN on December 13 at $20. Might find this a bit tough.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2130m at this track beaten 16 m by Lavra Joe (2:31.80) in 3yo+ FFA OPEN on December 20 at $23. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.25 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (2:32.60) beating Hampton Banner in 3yo+ Conditioned PACE on November 29 at $4.40. Better than the last effort suggest.
