Mt Gambier Race 2 - Sportsbet Mdn Plate
KAYLA KRUZEN (11) is ready to win after another minor placing last start at Murray Bridge. Draws well for Crowther and looks ready to put it all together. GAZELLE (10) returns and it's worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep at Penola. Was beaten narrowly here twice last campaign and if she can replicate that sort of form she can break through. DEL LIRENZA (12) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold third at Ararat. Likely improver who is among the chances. ERAJA (2) progressed nicely last time out when holding onto second at the Sunshine Coast. Drops back in trip off 54 days in-between and debuts the new colours. Is still lightly raced and worth keeping safe.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by Puccini out of La Chiflota NZD $ 3,100 (Gavelhouse 2022 Thoroughbred 30 May auction) purchase. At the most recent trial finished eighth on April 14 2025 at Terang over 800m. Favouring others until he proves himself.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at Bordertown 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on May 1 over 1550m, 12 len behind Rhinestone Rory carrying 58kg at $51. The run before that 4th in a small field at Penola 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Global Outcast carrying 58kg at $31. Others read better. Happy to risk.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign fourth of 12 at Penola 3yo+ Mdn-Sw January 16 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind She's The Rumour carrying 56.5kg at $31. When resuming last campaign ran last of 8 at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw October 24 over 1200m, soft track; 13 len behind Chergui with 58kg at $151. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.
