Stawell Race 6 - Matt Giles Plumbing Pace
SEA FLYER (7) filled a minor placing at Mt Gambier two runs ago before finishing second at her latest appearance over 2180m at Terang, beaten 6 metres. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a big race. FIVE CENT (10) showed great resilience at his latest appearance over 2100m at Charlton when he scored by 1.4 metres after being on the speed from the outset. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Big chance in this comparable race. MARGARITARI (9) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at Mt Gambier over 1780m. SKIPPYS DELIGHT NZ (3) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 4 m by Hurrikane Dusty (2:44.30) on July 15 at $31. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1710m at Ballarat beaten 25 m by Arzali Rockstar (2:03.70) on July 9 at $17. Has the same draw and is worth another chance.

13-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr1) over 1680m after showing early pace at Terang, at the bell was 3rd-4.6 beaten 5 m by Easy Rolling (2:05.70) on July 12 at $23. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Livermere at Horsham over 1700m on June 22 at $41. This looks a far sterner test.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Famous Label at Mt Gambier over 1780m on June 30 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Huxham Chubb at Terang over 2180m on July 12 at $3.30. Ready to take the next step.
