Mt Gambier Race 8 - Scott Group Of Companies Mount Gambier Gold Cup (Heat 7 Limestone Cup Series)
MARACOURT (3) let rip with a powerful turn of foot when just missing at Oakbank first-up. Was flat second-up before turning in a much better performance last time at headquarters when again doing his best work late. Is yet to be tested at this trip but splits say he will handle it. TEST THE LAW (2) has returned in good order this prep and looks ready to put it all together fourth-up. Meets VAN ROY 2.5kgs better this time after finishing hot on his heels two back and has been kept up to the mark with two sharp trials since his narrow third-up fourth. Ready. VAN ROY (5) is king of the Country Cups circuit and finds another suitable one to add to his mantle. Has already taken out a few heats of the Limestone Cup Series, most recently victor of the Penola Cup. Has the runs on the board, will just need a touch of luck from the draw. ASTRADEEL (4) was a barnstorming winner at Warrnambool first-up. Has more to offer. Warrnambool Cup winner ANY LUCK (1) also needs to be included.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Warrnambool LR Wnbl Cup May 7 over 2350m in heavy going defeating Alder carrying 54kg at $41. The race before that 4th of 16 at Warrnambool Bm70 on May 5 over 2350m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind El James with 59.5kg at $41. Have to take seriously off her maiden Listed win.

Second run back. First-up after seven months won by 1.75 len at Warrnambool Bm70 May 7 over 1700m on a heavy track defeating Gripping with 61.5kg at $6. Previously second-up 5th of 12 at Casterton Apsly Cup on June 8 over 2000m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Trosettee carrying 56kg at $12. Scope for improvement and should be right in the mix.
