Mackay Race 2 - Ladbrokes Place Extra Hcp (C3)

INTREPID LAD (3) was beaten 1.1 lengths into fifth in a 1600m contest at Rockhampton at his latest appearance. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate two and no surprise to see him in contention. ELITE GATHERING (6) is a former SA galloper having her first run for the new stable. Sure to find this a touch easier than what she faced down south and should be kept very safe. MARAVILLAS (4) has been right there in recent efforts and will be at peak fitness for this. Top-three candidate with Sewell on board. HOU LONG GWAI (1) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Rockhampton last time out. Gets some weight off with the claim and can bounce right back.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Rockhampton on August 13 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Bold Artic carrying 54kg at $12. Before that ran second last of 12 at Rockhampton on July 31 over 1400m, 6 len behind Got Gumption carrying 54.5kg at $6.50. Made headway last time. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
