Gunbower Race 6 - Cohuna Car Sales / Bill Poxon Memorial Gunbower Trotters Cup
VICI BLOOM (5) scored at the first run back from a break last time out over 2190m at Shepparton on November 25, finishing 3.5 metres ahead of her rivals. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. EL CONQUEROR NZ (6) won at Swan Hill two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 2700m at Horsham, beaten 3 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to return to winning ways. FAITH FULL (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at Horsham over 2700m. ALDEBARAN BROOKE (11) must be considered after she finished third over 2240m at Melton two weeks ago.

Racing in great heart. Last start won a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:43.80) beating Mac Flick in NR 56 to 64 on November 25 at $1.85 at the bell was leading 4.28. Will be better for that run and can make it back-to-back wins.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (FT Fr1) over 2760m at Melton, beaten 22 m by Ollivici (3:29.00) in No NR on November 29 at $17. Before that was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2190m at Maryborough beaten 30 m by El Resamo (2:40.10) in NR 65 to 79 on November 2 at $21. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind El Resamo at Geelong over 2100m in a NR 62 to 73 on November 21 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Avant Guard at Melton over 2240m in a 1W/15 0K stake on November 29 at $6. Sure to go well again.
