Mt Gambier Race 2 - The Border Watch Mdn Plate
FOMENTER (3) is a four-year-old Cool Aza Beel gelding on debut for the Hickmott camp. Has come along nicely in his lead-up work and has found a thin race to kick things off. Expecting him to make a winning start. BLACKHILL BOY (2) is going better than his form suggests this campaign and should be at his top now. Draws to get all the favours from the inside and looks the main threat to the debutant. PIKLEMEGRANMOTHER (8) last appeared when she finished second over 1550m at this track on May 22. Strips fitter for a trial win and comes here with definite top-three claims. BALLROOM BLAST (7) struggled to make an impression in tough conditions on debut but should be better for that and keeps Crowther in the saddle.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation ran last of 7 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on May 26 over 1200m, in the wet; 10 len behind Colt Forty Five with 57.5kg at $26.
