Mount Gambier Race 4 - 2026 Canny Ever Mount Gambier Country Trotters Cup (Sky 2)
THE PRIESTESS (2) was expected to do a lot more last time out when seventh, beaten 50 metres, over 2180m at Kilmore. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to turn things around. MEADOW VALLEY STAR (6) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 21 metres victory over 2610m at Kapunda. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. KEAYANG GYPSY (4) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at Melton over 2240m. Must be included. KEAYANG GUCCI (5) was in the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished a distant seventh over 2240m at Melton. This doesn't look as hard so she is capable of turning things around.

Solid run when a close third behind Thunda Struck at Melton over 2240m in a 0W/15 0K stake on January 30 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when third behind Smokin Strepo at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 39 on February 17 at $1.33. Should figure prominently.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Aldebaran Susanne at Melton over 1720m in a LR NR 56 to 75 M on February 28 at $1.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Crusher Clyde at Melton over 2240m in a NR 65 to 75 on March 7 at $4. Genuine threat.
