Gunbower Race 8 - Travla Roger & Elaine Brereton Memorial Gunbower Pacing Cup

DIAMOND ECLIPSE (13) was responsible for a far better performance last start, finishing fourth over 1720m at Melton. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. DHAULAGIRI NZ (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in fourth over 2200m at Horsham. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. THESTATESMAN (7) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2200m at Ballarat. Should run a big race. FRUGAL FARE (9) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.75 metres at Globe Derby Park over 2230m.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 2190m at Mildura, at the bell was 2nd-0.6 beaten 9 m by Earl Of Pembroke (2:39.60) in NR 65 or better on December 3 at $17. Two runs back won by a head when quickly away, (Fr1) at Mildura (2:12.20) beating Rio Rock in NR 65 or better on November 26 at $6 at the bell was 2nd-0.4. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing eighth behind Ata Rangi at Melton over 1720m in a 0W/15 0K stake on November 29 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Curyo Gentleman at Melton over 2240m in a 0W/15 0K stake on December 6 at $8.50. Sure to be in the mix.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fourth behind Pesci at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 65 or better on November 19 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Alot Like Louie at Melton over 2240m in a NR 80 to 89 on December 6 at $16. Rates highly. One of the likely contenders.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Melton, at the bell was 4th-5.31 beaten 6 m by Rakajed (1:59.80) in NR up to 105 on December 6 at $6.50. Before that, 9th (Sr5) over 2150m at St Arnaud beaten 24 m by Dhaulagiri (2:38.50) in NR 70 to 95 on November 9 at $16. Good signs last start and this looks a suitable contest.
