Gunbower Race 7 - M.v.p. Feeds Cohuna Pace
OKANUI BEACH (6) has been on the money a lot of late and went close again last time over 2200m at Launceston, finishing second and 11 metres from the winner. Has the ability to find the winners' list. IM DUSTEE (4) came from a long way back last start then made a sustained and finished second, beaten 1.75 metres, in a better performance at Shepparton over 1690m. Meets a similar line up so he can play a major role. NEW YORKER (9) disappointed last time when seventh over 2300m at Menangle. Can bounce back. TELEMACHUS (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2200m at Horsham.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr3) over 2200m after showing early pace at Horsham beaten 5.5 m by Operative Line (2:38.90) in NR up to 95 on December 7 at $41.

Solid run when a close second behind Puntarno Stride at Launceston over 1680m in a NR 50 to 54 on November 23 at $1.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Hungry Hippo at Launceston over 2200m in a 3yo No NR CG on November 29 at $7. Cherry-ripe now and gets his chance to break through.
