Mount Gambier Race 3

Mount Gambier Rural Supplies Pace (Sky 2)

Prize Money: $3,000

CASE FORTY EIGHT (7) produced a better effort at his latest appearance, finishing third over 1780m at this track. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role again. SMART PLAY (5) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when she finished second, beaten 3.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1780m. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat again. BURNING HOT (4) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1780m at this track last time out. FIRE OFFICIAL (3) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 1780m at this track.

Comments

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1780m after being wide early at this track, beaten 40 m by Heavy Metal Hammer (2:13.10) in NR up to 40 GROUP on April 1 at $126. Before that 9th (Sr4) over 1780m at this track, beaten 30 m by Miki Steamed Home (2:13.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 45 on March 15 at $71. Others read better. Facing a tougher assignment this time around.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1780m at this track, at the bell was 5th-8m on the pegs beaten 10 m by The Devil Rolls On (2:17.80) in 2yo+ 2 Lifetime Wins on April 1 at $51. At her previous start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Geelong was 3rd-5.53 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Northern Terror (1:59.40) in NR up to 36 on March 28 at $81. Certainly worth another chance.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth after showing early speed, behind Famous Label at this track over 1780m in a 4yo+ up to 40 on March 15 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Heavy Metal Hammer at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 40 GROUP on April 1 at $12. Winning prospects.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Major Crunch at Hamilton over 1660m in a 0-2 WINS on March 26 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind The Devil Rolls On at this track over 1780m in a 2yo+ 2 Lifetime Wins on April 1 at $4. One of the key runners.
