Mount Gambier Race 1 - Redgum Country Pace (Heat 2)
FAMOUS LABEL (7) scored a win at this circuit and distance two runs ago before finishing third at her latest appearance at Hamilton, leading and sticking on to be beaten 1.8 metres. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play. Big chance. GRINNING REACTOR (8) did some work but stuck on well to finish a very close second last start at this circuit and distance. Draws on the back row this time but with even luck he can take this out. BAYSIDE VICTORY (3) draws well again and is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this circuit and distance. JADES HOPE (6) showed improvement for fourth when third-up last time. Building in fitness and could progress further.
