Mt Barker Race 6

Wellington & Reeves Mount Barker Cup

Prize Money: $35,000

MISTER POPCORN (7) couldn't sustain the run last start at Ascot and comes back to 2000m today. His run two back at Albany was superb and he should be able to land up front from the inside draw. Easier race here today and he can return to winning form. DUCHEES DEMERIT (5) missed in a photo finish here last start over the 1850m journey and looks set for this third-up into the campaign. His third-up record is great, he draws ideally and Faithfull sticks with him. Can go one better this time around. DEADLY AND FAST (4) won two back before a narrow defeat last start over the 1850m journey, ending up behind DUCHEES DEMERIT. Back out in trip now should suit him better and another forward showing is on the cards WHAT A PRINCE (1) was very impressive last time out and has to be included on the back of that effort. STRIKING FELLA (9) is knocking on the door in recent runs and can be thereabouts once more.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 10 at this track Rtg 64+ on January 18 over 1850m, 0.6 len behind War Matters carrying 59.5kg at $9.50. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Albany Rtg 58+ December 26 over 1940m defeating Mister Popcorn with 60.5kg at $13. Form ties in through Duchees Demerit and he can get the job done.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 8th of 14 at Albany Rtg 58+ on January 4 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Imposing Brook with 59kg at $31. Second run from a spell 2nd of 10 at this track Rtg 64+ on January 18 over 1850m, nose behind War Matters with 58kg at $12. Promising effort last time out. Looks set for this third-up into the campaign and he's a leading chance off the splits he ran last start.

Last start 5th of 12 at Ascot Rtg 66+ on January 24 over 2200m, 2.75 len behind Amazing Cheat with 54kg at $26. The start before that won by 2.5 len at Albany Rtg 58+ January 4 over 1900m defeating Beautiful Baroque carrying 55.5kg at $2.50. Not far away last time. Back a furlong looks to suit and he can return to winning ways.

Racing well recently. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Albany Rtg 58+ on January 29 over 1500m, 1.0 len behind Makin Prophets with 60kg at $9. The run before that 4th of 14 at Albany Rtg 58+ on January 4 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Imposing Brook carrying 60kg at $7.50. Big chance on his recent form.
