Nola Keeping, winner of the recent St Leger classic (530 metres) at Angle Park for Lewiston trainer Nicole Price, is a strong chance of returning to Mount Gambier next month for heats of the Group 3 Mount Gambier Cup (512 m).

This follows her 4¾ length win over Big Diesel in last Sunday’s Tracie Price Leading Trainer Stake (512 m) at Tara Raceway in 30.02 seconds on a rain-soaked track.

By Feral Franky out of Gina Keeping, the black bitch, owned by Price’s 16-year-old son Liam, has now won seven races since joining her kennels in September last year.

However, following Sunday’s race, a kennel spokesperson said a decision would be made later in regard to whether she would return to Tara Raceway for another run prior to the Mount Gambier Cup heats on Sunday, March 29.

Nola Keeping was one of four winners for Price at last Sunday’s meeting with Galba Stacey, Slick Angel and Todd Keeping also flying the flag for the kennel. Meanwhile, she was at Gawler’s Sunday night meeting where she had been successful with Grand Perfection.
