Hamilton Race 4 - Vhrc / Permewans Mitre 10 Hamilton Pace
MARGARITARI (7) has been racing well of late. Finished second at her latest appearance over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 1.5 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Has the ability to find the winners' list. TORQUE INTHEUSA (4) was down the track last time but had some good form prior. This looks a suitable assignment so could be hard to stop this time. PRETTY BASIC (5) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 2160m at this track. Looks for a good return. PRESIDENTIALCHANGE (3) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1780m at Mt Gambier.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early speed at Shepparton was 4th-5.44 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Beryls Boots (2:04.30) on October 20 at $51. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1780m after showing early speed at Mt Gambier was 4th-8.4 at the bell, beaten 16 m by The Irishman (2:15.70) on October 13 at $2.50. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last campaign recording by a nose (Fr3) at this track (2:40.50) beating Huxham Chubb in on April 13 at $17 at the bell was 6th-8m 2WWC. Should go well while fresh.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Like A Gazelle at Ballarat over 1710m in a M on September 2 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Frankie Under Fire at Stawell over 2180m on September 14 at $8.50. Best performances should see her go well again.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1780m after racing wide at Mt Gambier, at the bell was 4th-0.8 beaten 13 m by The Blazinboots (2:15.80) on October 13 at $7.50. At the run before then settled down to finish seventh over 2200m at Horsham last start. Better than recent form suggests; great chance to bounce back.
