thedogs - Mount Gambier 01 October 2023 Race 11

NERO VALENTINO (4) was rewarded for his excellent form with a quick 29.69 victory here last week. He maps to lead this field and will prove hard to catch in the small field. ARTIFICIAL BLUE (8) is a 3-time winner this trip (29.74 PB) and will be suited to the small field. HANNAH ROCKS (2) has been placed in her past three starts and has claims.
