Mitch Lewis was in-form on Tuesday, now he turns his attention to Gawler - get his best bets for the meeting.
| Race | Horse | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| R1/1 | Casino Showgirl | Solid debut run here and can improve enough to win in a similar grade. |
| R7/1 | Articulating | Drops in grade and mapping for a better run than last start. |
Turf Talk:
- Clear conditions are forecast so expect that the meeting will kick off at a Soft 5 or 6 and there is a potential of an upgrade at some stage.
- The rail pushes out slightly from the previous meeting and will be +5m 800m - 400m, +3m Remainder.
- Gawler is a track that plays fairly, but runners will look to come wide away from the inside rail if the track remains wet.
The Stats That Matter:
- Apprentice Tala Hutchinson rides the Gawler track well and has a strong strike rate here. She has a 25% winning strike rate at this track at a healthy POT of +74.9%.
Race 1 No.1 Casino Showgirl
CASINO SHOWGIRL made a solid debut here 2 weeks ago over the same track/trip set up. She was caught wide in that run with no cover and raced a little green in the straight but still stuck on well enough to finish 2nd. She is drawn for a better run here today and with extra fitness and some improvement she should be winning at this level.
Selections:
(1) Casino Showgirl
Suggested Bet: Casino Showgirl (Win)
Race 7 No.1 Articulating
Endured a wide run last start which saw him fade out to finish near the rear of the field. He can bounce back here in a race that is a decent drop down in grade and he looks likely to get a better run from a middle barrier so expecting improvement and a stronger finish today.
Selections:
(1) Articulating
Suggested Bet: Articulating (Win)
