Mt Gambier Race 1 - Carlton Draught Mdn Hcp
Thin race on paper. THE NOBLE STEED (10) has been going around at huge prices and, last start, he ran accordingly. There are a couple of performances in his career that, if he can replicate, would likely see him run a cheeky race at a huge price. Keen to have a small each-way bet on him in this contest. BISHOP'S CHOICE (1) might be too good though and he looks hard to beat. He showed nice improvement between his first two runs this preparation and he'll be even fitter third up. He draws well and he handles wet ground. HAVILAH (6) an another improving type that looks an obvious chance for a top three finish. KUNAWAR (3) and SHAMEX (2) warrant some thought too.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 11 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw on July 12 over 1200m, in the wet; 4 len behind Murmullo carrying 59.5kg at $16. Second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on July 24 over 1400m, on a wet track; 6 len behind French Navy with 59.5kg at $8. Rock hard fit now and is a big chance to break through.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Murtoa Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 1200m, on heavy track; 2.75 len behind Bow Ribbon with 57.5kg at $26. The run before that failed to make an impression; 9th of 14 at this track 3yo+ Mdn Hcp on July 11 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Victory Queen carrying 55.5kg at $41. Improver that looks a top three player in this line up.
