Mount Gambier Race 8 - Newman/Mcdonnell Final Next Week (N/P) Stake Pr1 D
ROCK IT ROGER (7) has a strong record here including three wins from four starts. In the money last time at Murray Bridge (22.40) in a Grade 3/4/5, finishing a 4 length third. Appeals as a leading chance in this. ESCAPADES (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 30.35 beating Aussie Fernando. Sure to be thereabouts. JUST JOHNNIE (1) produced a moderate performance last time when sixth at this track over 600m behind Aston Sushi (35.70) in a Grade 5/6. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. TRUST DEED (4) must be included in calculations.

Was out of placings last time (35.70) at this track in a Grade 5/6, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Has three wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (35.58) at big odds over 600m at this track. Drawn a inside box but will need the right run to feature.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 512m (30.35) beating Aussie Fernando in Grade 6 on November 8. Looks the one to beat again.
