This looks like a great race for this mare and I am quite keen on her chances. Andy Gath trains with Kate Gath to steer. This horse has done little wrong in three runs this time in. This horse was excellent in defeat here last Saturday night. This horse got the three back pegs spot and was held up for clear air until charging late to run second. This horse has good gate speed, so she finds the front and will prove hard to get past.
