Mount Gambier Race 5 - Anthony & Vee Rice Pace
SATURDAY DANCE (2) resumes from a spell of two years after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1800m at Globe Derby Park. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. WESTERN DRAGON (1) is a five-year-old mare from the B D Finnis stable on debut. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Placed in a recent trial and makes plenty of appeal. EASTBRO KAZ (5) finished second on debut last start despite galloping, beaten a head over 1780m at this track. Meets a similar line up so she must be considered. MAJESTIC CHEDDAR (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1780m here. Can earn some minor money.

Five-year-old mare by Fear The Dragon out of Tinted Pearl having her first start. Showed ability when second at Mt Gambier in a trial on November 23 over 1780m. Placed in a recent trial and a bold showing is expected.

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 1780m at this track well beaten by Im Molly Malone (2:11.60) in MAIDEN on October 31 at $5. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1790m at Warragul beaten 45 m by Rockin Bull (2:12.80) in 2yo 0-1 WIN on July 22 2024 at $10. Strips fitter and should be right in the finish.

Three-year-old filly lining up for the second time. At debut broke in score up and was out of position at the start good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 1780m at this track beaten a head by Metro Bliss (2:16.30) in MAIDEN on November 18 at $19. Plenty of scope for improvement.
