Mount Gambier Race 5 - Collins Court Butcher Pace
ISTHISTHEREALLIFE (6) worked to find the lead and kept kicking to make it two consecutive wins last time out over 2200m at Horsham, getting home 1.5 metres ahead of her rivals. Progressive filly who looks well placed again. LUCKY VINCENT (2) was successful at his most recent outing by 11 metres in a far better performance at this circuit and distance. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Capable of running another big race. MARGARITARI (1) gets the ace draw and can be competitive again following a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at Horsham. SRIRACHA (4) must be respected off a win two back at Shepparton.

Solid performance when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Eastbro Kaz at this track over 1780m on June 9 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Isthisthereallife at Horsham over 2200m on June 22 at $41. Draws well and shapes as one to consider.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 2200m at Horsham was 8th-14.7 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Isthisthereallife (2:42.00) on June 22 at $16. Showed ability the run before when she won by 3 m when driven back in the field, when quickly away, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:13.10) beating Margaritari in on June 9 at $5. Has the ability to figure prominently from a better draw.

Can make his presence felt.
