Gore Race 7 - MACCA LODGE MBL PACE
SECRET AGENT MAN (4) First up after 45 weeks and handy enough when winning first up last preparation at Ashburton. Nathan Williamson is very comfortable aboard. Serious contender. JUSTAWEESIP (3) Good win last time at Winton and ideal distance as proven previously. Won last 2 on the trot and coming back up in distance. This field suits. CRACKER OPIE (6) Ran 3rd last start at the track and hard to fault at the distance. Winning hope. ALWAYS BE BOOTIE (5) First up and got the upper hand late when winning first up last preparation at Ascot Park. One of the hopes.
