Mount Gambier Race 9

Trackside Pet Meats (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division1

Prize Money: $1,070

PURE GOUT (2) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 0.8 lengths (23.12) over 400m at this track. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including two wins. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. COMPTON BOWIE (6) was drawn the middle last start but pinged the lids and recorded an all-the-way win (23.49) at this track in a TG1-4W over 400m. Speedy beginner who can find the front despite the tricky draw. Will go close again if runs up to latest. NAPIER BALE (8) doesn't win out of turn. Finished second (23.55) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Can feature again. MAGIC POPPY (1) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 23.63, beating Classy Willow. Last start finished last in a Grade 6 on July 5 over 400m at this track behind Rock It Kathy beaten 9 lengths (23.80). Racing well and has to be included.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 23.12 last start, beating Aston Deutz. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.65) over 400m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Strong performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 400m (23.49) beating Compton Zirconia in TG1-4W on July 2. Can make it two on the bounce.
