Mount Gambier Race 6

Redgum Country Pace (Sky 1)

Prize Money: $5,000

LIVERMERE (4) finished second last start over 1680m at Terang, beaten 18 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1780m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. ITTAKESLUV (5) resumes here after closing her last prep with a fifth at Melton on July 24. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. MARGARITARI (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at Hamilton over 2160m. Hard to find fault. THE IRISHMAN NZ (1) could only finish seventh over 2160m at Hamilton most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Two back was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind The Irishman at this track over 1780m on October 13 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Smokin Strepo at Terang over 1680m on October 19 at $7. Sure to be there at the business end.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
