Gunbower Race 2 - K.l. Cooke & Sons / Lindsay Pollock Memorial Trot

CHAMPAGNES (4) was in the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when she broke and finished a distant sixth over 1700m at Horsham. Meets a similar line up so she is sure to be a force if the manners improve. STARLIGHT RED (5) ran third last start at Shepparton over 2190m, beaten 21 metres. Expecting a very good run. FRANKYTHEFRENCHMAN (6) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a distant ninth over 1700m at Horsham. Only needs to get things right to be in the money. THATS YOUR OPINION (8) found form and finished second two runs ago then came back to earth when he broke and finished a distant eighth over 1650m at Bendigo. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Fr2) over 2190m at Shepparton was 5th-11.71 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Night Sky (2:46.40) in NR up to 49 on December 9 at $126. Before that 8th (Sr3) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 23 m by Settle The Bill (2:06.70) in NR up to 49 on November 25 at $126. Draws the pegs but is without a win for a very long while and will struggle.
