Mt Gambier Race 1 - Living Turf Mdn Plate
AMICAL (3) was well supported when resuming last start over 1200m at Balaklava and gave a bold sight before tiring late into fourth. Is sure to have come on from that and can get the job done this time. CHAMPAGNE LADIES (5) produced a solid effort on debut in better company last start at Moe. Gets in light with the 3kg claimer engaged and is another likely improver that holds winning claims. BUTTERFLY ISLAND (4) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Tom Dabernig. By Kermadec from Kirinia. Strips fitter for two trials and is drawn cosy on the inside. Can make a bright start. CHAPPA (1) is a son of Valentia out of Quiddick having his first start. Should take a lot from a placing in a recent Port Augusta trial with today's rider Andrew Stead aboard. Worth keeping safe. STAFF WRITER (9) is a Written By filly on debut and is another that has shown enough in her lead-up work to suggest she can play a role.

Second-up. First-up after six months got back early 7th of 10 at this track 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 10 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Magnetic Chess with 58kg at $31. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Penola 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on October 17 over 1400m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Bad To The Bone carrying 58kg at $14. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Second-up. First start didn't finish the race at Gawler 3yo+ Cg&E Mdn-Sw October 6 over 1200m. Went for a break before returning 4th of 14 at Balaklava 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1200m, slow going 2.75 len behind Sahha Sweetie with 55.5kg at $3.90. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
