Mount Gambier Race 5 - Metalworx Fire Plumbing & Sheetmetal Trotters Handicap
MOONSHINE PENNY (4) came from the back row for second behind a runaway winner last start. Proven at the standing start having won under these conditions at this circuit and distance three back. Strong claims. ICICLE (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth at Hamilton. Gives away 50 at the handicap but this suits. MAJESTIC CONNIES (2) missed by just a nose when runner-up last time, his third placing from his last four outings at this venue. Must respect. UNSPOKEN LOVE (3) has been let down by manners at her last couple but can be competitive if she gets it right.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Mitchell Wrap at Terang over 2180m in a No NR on March 5 at $19. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Kyvalley Anthony at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 55 on March 15 at $4.60. Take beating.
