Mungrup Sprint Day Preview - Mt Barker January 16th

Trainer Adam Durrant, Jockey Peter Hall and smart galloper Proart have the chance for redemption twelve months to the day when they tackle the $90,000 Mungrup Sprint at Mt Barker on Sunday.  Sent out a red hot favourite last year, Proart was basically out of contention shortly after the start due to interference and finished well back.  Drawn ideally at gate three, Proart will be racing third up after a good effort over 1400m and mid field over 1000m. The Sprint has drawn together a solid field, with city horses looking to dominate.
