AU - Gawler - Race 3

HAMNER SPRINGS (1) keeps finding one or two better but is edging closer, beaten under a length last start at Oakbank as favourite. He backs up quickly, draws well again, and doesn't need to improve much to finally land that second win. YOUBEEFORTY (3) had genuine excuses when a well-beaten favourite at Oakbank, and his form prior reads well for this. The quick back-up and the Murtagh booking both signal intent. Major player. IMPENDING FURY (8) didn't fire last time but now rises sharply in trip, which looks suitable. Holder going back on is a strong lead. THE HIGHLANDER (4) was brave breaking his maiden at Strathalbyn. This is tougher, but he's progressive enough to warrant inclusion.
