The next feature trotting event happening in Australia will take place on Friday night when Kilmore at Tabcorp Park host the $20,000 Group 3 Uncle Petrika Trotters Free For All (1720m).
A brilliant line-up of some of the nation’s best trotters are engaged for the 2010 Uncle Petrika FFA including Australia’s favourite squaregaiter Sundons Gift.
The talented Sundon gelding has drawn way back and out on Friday night in barrier 12. Coming off a brilliant succession of victories, the seemingly unstoppable Chris Lang-trained champion will again have Lang behind the reins as he attempts his 32nd career victory.
Despite drawing awkwardly dual Inter Dominion champion Sundons Gift will start as the favourite
Despite the awkward draw, the dual Inter Dominion champion will still start as the odds-on favourite fresh up from a short spell.
Lang will also be represented by Earl gelding Kyvalley Mac drawn better in barrier five.
The level of competition Sundons Gift will face in the event is elite with two of his biggest threats drawn either side of him also in the backrow, Thepowerofhealing in barrier 11 and Ronerail in 13.
Ronerail recently ran a gallant second to Red Samurai in the Group 3 Bruce Skeggs Trotters Cup, showing he could come from the back of the pack to challenge the winner.
Other classy contenders looking to secure the win on Friday night include Lance Justice’s duo Beleva drawn ideally in barrier one, and Earl Of Mot, who Justice will drive, also drawn well in four.
Punters and trotting fans can catch all the action of the 2010 Renown Silverware Uncle Petrika Trotters Free-For-All at 10:12pm when it runs as race eight on the night’s bumper nine-event card.
The programme also includes a number of great features for the pacers with the running of the $20,000 Mittys Youthful Stakes, heats of the Nevele R Stud Victoria Oaks and the $20,000 SEW-Eurodrive Sokyola Sprint featuring a the likes of Smoken Up and stablemate Our Malabar.
