Hamilton Race 3 - Permewans Mitre 10 Pace
FAMOUS LABEL (2) took charge early on and kept going to record an overdue win last start over 2190m at Mt Gambier, getting home by one metre. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. HUXHAM CHUBB (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3.5 metres from the winner in fifth over 1785m at Stawell. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. PRESIDENTIALCHANGE (7) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at Stawell over 2180m. Hard to find fault. ONYX (9) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 21 metres away in seventh over 1785m at Stawell. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 20 m by Magellan (2:44.00) in MAIDEN on April 3 at $81. Hard to make a case in this field.

In good form recently. Last start won by 1.0 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Mt Gambier (2:46.60) beating Grinning Reactor in NR up to 44 on April 7 at $3 at the bell was leading 2.4. Going well and is expected to measure up again.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Line Up Jacquie at Ararat over 2195m in a NR 39 to 45 on March 23 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Lester at Stawell over 2180m in a NR 40 to 45 on April 3 at $7.50. Very hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr1) over 2190m at Mt Gambier beaten 23 m by Famous Label (2:46.60) in NR up to 44 on April 7 at $3. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Ararat (2:12.70) beating Bubble Over in MAIDEN on March 23 at $23 at the bell was leading 3.8. Better than the last run and can improve sharply.
