Penola Race 6 - Coopers Brewery (Bm66)
FREE BEER (8) has been in great touch, backing up a Mt Gambier win with a close second at Morphettville Parks and looks ready to strike again in this company. GUSTY WAY (15) is building nicely this prep and looks ready to peak after a gutsy second at Naracoorte. With Metcalfe back aboard, he's right in the frame. FOOTPRINTS (11) has struck a purple patch of form. Will find this tougher but deserves respect. GRASSMERE DIAMOND (12) resumed nicely at Warrnambool and can build upon that outing from a low gate.

Racing well. Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Naracoorte Bm64 on April 6 over 1200m, head behind Big Option carrying 57.5kg at $3.80. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 11 at Mt Gambier Bm58 on March 21 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Free Beer carrying 60.5kg at $7. Main contender.
