Mount Gambier Race 4 - Vale Bob Maloney Pace
EASTBRO KOZZY (5) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1700m at Horsham, beaten 12 metres. This should be an easier assignment so he is a major player again. WE FAVOUR ROSIE (3) again drew a wide gate last start but produced a strong effort, beaten 25 metres into third at Horsham over 1700m. Has the benefit of a good draw this time. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. ELITE MOLLY (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Horsham over 1700m. Genuine top-three threat. OCEAN AVENUE (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1700m at Horsham on December 7. One for the exotics players.

Last start 10th (Sr4) over 1700m at Horsham beaten 30 m by Swiss Lightning (2:02.00) in NR up to 49 on December 7 at $51. At the run before 5th (Sr3) over 1780m at this track was 5th-17.1 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Elli Joh (2:11.40) in NR up to 49 on December 2 at $8. Has the inside draw which may spark a revival.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth behind Elli Joh at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 49 on December 2 at $7. Then a handy effort when second behind Swiss Lightning at Horsham over 1700m in a NR up to 49 on December 7 at $6. Nice effort last time. Solid top-three prospects.

Solid performance when a close second after being driven well back, behind Eastbro Kozzy at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 55 on December 2 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when third behind Grinning Beach Boy at Horsham over 1700m in a NR up to 55 on December 7 at $9. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Well-beaten 9 days ago at Horsham over 1700m, before that 8th (Fr5) over 2070m after showing early speed and racing wide at Gawler beaten 45 m by Rockabilly Ringo (2:29.60) in 4yo+ NR up to 55 on October 19 at $21. Must do a lot more.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1700m at Horsham, beaten 12 m by Grinning Beach Boy (2:01.20) in NR up to 55 on December 7 at $5.50. Two runs back won by a head as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:14.20) beating We Favour Rosie in NR up to 55 on December 2 at $1.75 at the bell was 2nd-0.3. Genuine threat.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1700m after showing early speed and racing wide at Horsham beaten 17 m by Browniesatmidnight (2:02.00) in NR 56 to 64 on December 7 at $26. Showed ability the race before when she ran on from midfield and won by 3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at Globe Derby Park (2:45.20) beating Places You Dont in NR 50 to 59 on November 29 at $6.50 at the bell was leading 0.2. Can improve enough to feature in the finish.
