Mt Gambier Horse Racing Tips Fri 7/8/26

Everyone wants speed in the 900m at Mt Gambier, but nobody in this one actually wants to lead. That’s the bit the market has wrong. Tanna is $3.00 in Race 3, and from gate 3 he gets to sit just off midfield and land on top of them late. It’s a Heavy 10 with showers about, so anything that tries to run along in front is going to feel it in the last bit. Just the one worth a look for us here, the other six races on the card can wait.

3. Tanna $3.00

Barrier 3 · Off Midfield · No leader

Over 900m on heavy ground with nobody keen to lead, this turns into a scramble. #3 Tanna draws 3, settles about three lengths off them, and has the late kick to pick them off in a dash like this. Campbell Rawiller stays on. Just Like Lisa is $3.80 from a similar spot, and I’d rather have Tanna’s inside draw at $3. Have it.
