Mount Gambier Race 2 - Harper & Co Boutique Pace
THE NOTORIOUS R B G (6) had to work at Hamilton last start so prepared to overlook that result and assess of a good third when resuming at this circuit two back. Hasn't missed the top-three here and should be close to peaking. PRESIDENTIALCHANGE (4) has been racing in Victoria of late but will relish the return to a circuit where he strikes at 50 per cent, winning the last time he visited. THE TRI LINE (3) produced a good effort last time out when runner-up at Hamilton and draws for a good showing. CLASSACT (5) is worth some thought off a midfield finish at Hamilton last week.
