A couple for leading SA’s leading country trainer look hard to beat when midweek racing heads to Port Lincoln on Wednesday.
PORT LINCOLN FOUR PLAYS
JAMAICAN GOLD Race 1, No. 6 Draws out but has been runner-up at his past couple, the latest behind Gilded Lady here when $2.05 into $1.90. Gets another chance.
STAKE A CLAIM Race 4, No. 7 Turned around some average form when he went to Nhill and had market support from $13 into $8.50, was snagged back from a wide gate early. Was last in running before saving ground inside horses rounding the turn and grew wings late to run down She’s The Sherriff over the 1000m trip. A repeat would be right in the finish here.
ETEREA Race 7, No. 4 Copped some mid race pressure but was far too good for rivals when a 3.2 length winner over Alpine Beau at Naracoorte last time out. Draws a good gate to roll forward and is weighted to be winning again.
ARTFUL AMBITION Race 8, No. 4 Was a winner here three starts back and has followed up with two eye catching efforts, the latest here behind Messerschmitt, who he meets better at the weights, when he flashed late the final 50m and jumping from the 1000m to 1210m looks ideal.
