Mount Gambier Race 4 - Peter Medhurst Pace
JADES HOPE (2) was outclassed when resuming but she'll be fitter for that hitout and finds a much more suitable assignment. A good draw gives her every chance to show her best. THE DEVIL ROLLS ON (1) kicked off the campaign with back-to-back seconds before a solid fifth last time at Hamilton. Aided by the ace draw and should be ready to peak now. CASE FORTY EIGHT (3) was down the track in Victoria last time but has claims off a placing here earlier in the campaign. GRINNING REACTOR (4) hasn't been far away at his last couple here, the latest from this barrier.

Lacklustre performance first-up at this course and distance beaten 23 m sixth behind Stormy Woods in a 3-4yo No NR on March 15. Watch for a big spike in form.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr5) over 1660m at Hamilton beaten 25 m by Major Crunch (1:58.80) in 0-2 WINS on March 26 at $51. The run previous was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1780m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 6th-9.6 beaten 6 m by Famous Label (2:15.80) in 4yo+ up to 40 on March 15 at $14. Worth another chance. Among the chances.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Famous Label at this track over 1780m 4yo+ up to 40 last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third again at this track in NR up to 40 on February 25. One of the contenders.

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when she broke in score up and was out of position at the start 8th (Fr1) over 2160m at Hamilton well beaten by Old Villa Boy (2:40.50) in NR up to 59 on March 26 at $151. Not enthused.
