Gore Race 11 - MACCA LODGE SOUTHERN SURGE SERIES FINAL MOBILE PACE
ALWAYS DREAMING (8) certainly looks the horse to beat after scoring last start by 2.25 metres at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. HALEY JACCKA (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last four starts, most recently recording a third over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. STEP IT UP A NOTCH (3) is capable of better after finishing well back when resuming over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway three weeks ago. SOUTHSIDE OF HEAVEN (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start 7th (Fr2) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 9 m by Always Dreaming (2:43.60) in 3yo+ on August 10 at $11.80. Before that, 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 8 m by Ultimate Cullect (1:56.70) in 3yo+ on August 3 at $19.60. Heading the right way and should play a big role.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Ultimate Cullect at Central Southland Raceway over 1609m in a 3yo+ on August 3 at $4.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Always Dreaming at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m in a 3yo+ on August 10 at $4.40. Right in the calculations.
