Mount Gambier Race 3 - Limestone Coast Charters - John Howard Pace

GRINNING REACTOR (8) was responsible for a strong performance last time out, scoring by one metre over 2190m at this track after coming from a long way back. Has the talent to take care of this field. BIZZIE LIZZIE (3) ran seventh last start at Globe Derby Park over 2230m, beaten 35 metres. Talented and has plenty of upside. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. LOUISE LUCK (7) found a couple better two runs back then things went sour last time when she broke and finished 18 metres back in fourth over 1780m here. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Finds a nice race and can make up for that last start mishap. VISTA SIERRA (1) galloped last start and finished a long last when resuming in a 1780m event at this circuit four weeks ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back if she brings her Mitch Manners.

Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1780m at this track well beaten by Hilldale Sunrise (2:10.90) in NR up to 40 on November 18 at $12. Two runs back 10th (Fr2) over 1785m at Stawell, well beaten by Rocknroll Willow (2:11.10) in 0-2 WINS on September 15 at $81. Will take a lot from that run; in the mix.

Didn't impress first-up beaten 35 m seventh behind Brighton at Globe Derby Park over 2230m in a 3yo No NR F on December 8. Strips fitter now and can improve enough to take this out.
