Mount Gambier Race 1 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge Pace (Sky 2)
LIVERMERE (10) brings winning form from Victoria, scoring at the latest appearance by 2.5 metres over 1720m at Melton. Draws wide on the back row so may need a 10/10 drive but is a leading hope in this suitable race. DOCTOR GO JOH (6) is another that found winning form last start, coming from wide on the second line to score by a head at Ballarat. Two-time winner at this circuit and distance and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. CHAMPAGNE WALSH (4) didn't do a bad job when fifth after racing three wide at Terang last time out. Fitter again third-up and is proven here. JOHNNY REDCOAT (7) is a chance after finishing fourth at Ararat last time out.
