Mt Gambier Race 2 - Sportsbet More Places Mdn Plate
AHVEJAY (1) is going better than his form reads, finding the line nicely in all three starts. Will drift back again from the wide draw but can round them up if they overdo it early. Bold showing anticipated. MISS MAVERICK (11) didn't feature first-up but strips fitter and will appreciate the extra ground. Expecting sharp improvement. THE LAST FLASH (8) drops back in trip and could prove more effective. Capable of turning things around and rates among the leading players. HOLLIS (13) has struggled to threaten so far this campaign but can improve sharply in this line-up.

Most recently eased back early on 6th of 11 at Horsham Mdn-Sw on April 26 over 1400m, slow going 2 len behind Cardiologist with 59.5kg at $61. The start before that 6th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Smashing Action carrying 56.5kg at $11. Hitting his straps now and is the one to watch for late.

Second run back. First-up after five months got back early 9th of 12 at Horsham Mdn-Sw on April 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Like A Diamond with 57.5kg at $101.
