Gloucester Park Race 9

Catch A Wave, 2024 Nullarbor And Freo Cup Winner 4Yo+ Ms Pace

Prize Money: $23,000

VENTURA (5) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2130m at this track. Finds a nice race and can salute. SPICEY MAJOR (1) bolted home to score by a big margin at Pinjarra 3 days ago. Each way claims from the pole position. DALVEY ROBYN NZ (2) is better than his last-start eighth over 2130m at this track. SHOWPONY (3) has a better draw this time and is worth some thought based on his victory over 2130m at this track two runs ago. Something for the Multiples: VENTURA NZ (5)

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr8) over 2130m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Frisky Styx (2:32.00) in 3yo+ L8/9 HWOE LT $40000 on December 13 at $6.50. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 3 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Pinjarra (2:42.60) beating Travelban in 3yo+ L8/9 on December 9 at $1.10. Draws the inside so worth another chance.
