Mount Gambier Race 1 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Pace

FAMOUS LABEL (9) should find this easier than her last attempt when midfield at Hamilton and had been racing well prior, winning her previous two outings at this circuit. Came from this barrier when scoring two back. Strong claims. DOCTOR GO JOH (8) led and boxed on last time at Stawell, beaten 1.4 metres. Goes well at this circuit and distance, winning two of five appearances. Contender. HEAVY METAL HAMMER (4) has raced in Victoria at his last couple but put together a string of top-four finishes here prior so is better placed. HILLDALE SUNRISE (6) came from this barrier when he won at this venue earlier in the campaign. Go well.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr4) over 1660m after racing wide at Hamilton was 5th-8.8m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 9 m by Major Crunch (1:58.80) in 0-2 WINS on March 26 at $41. The run previous 10th (Fr3) over 1785m at Stawell, beaten 55 m by Keayang Galliano (2:10.60) in NR 50 to 55 on March 19 at $18. Worth another chance. Great chance to bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Redbank Molly at Ararat over 2195m in a NR up to 49 on February 28 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Longtan Viper at Stawell over 1785m in a NR 40 to 49 on March 19 at $15. Can continue the good form and take this out.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr2) over 2160m at Hamilton was 4th-6.5m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 13 m by Feelingoodfreddie (2:40.70) in NR up to 44 on March 26 at $12. Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.5 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:15.80) beating Burning Hot in 4yo+ up to 40 on March 15 at $2.80 at the bell was 4th-5.4. Won the last two times she raced here so will relish the return to this circuit.
