Mt Gambier Race 1 - M & C Knowles Painter & Decorator Mdn Plate
WRITTEN BY BETSY (9) is a Written By filly on debut for the Sarah Rutten stable. Has progressed nicely at the trials and draws favourably for Collett who sticks from her recent trial placing. Looks set for a bright start to her career. MEADOWS FLYER (10) returns for the Bates team. Has always shown good signs in her lead-up work but is yet to convert on race day, though she has tackled some tough company. Has once again trialled sharply in readiness and is worth a big watch. BELLA ANGELICA (11) is another that resumes and strips fitter for two sharp jumpouts. Has run well here before, placing over this trip back in November. From a sharp stable and has to be taken seriously. SUPERDUBIOUS (4) is a mare by Dubious on debut for the Hannemann team. Placed in her most recent trial. Should be sharp and ready to run with the blinkers added and gets in light with the 3kg claimer sticking. Wary.

Resuming. Not seen since she finished last of 9 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn-Sw November 19 over 1000m, 21 len behind Beyond Mysti carrying 56kg at $101. On debut ninth of 11 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw November 2 over 1100m, 12 len behind Layin' Up with 56kg at $6.50. Prefer to see how she returns.
