Mount Gambier Race 2 - Beljon Pastoral Co Pace
CEE WHOS BETTOR NZ (2) drew wide on the back row and raced three deep without cover last start at Hamilton so that result can be forgiven. Came from wider than this for second here two back. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Strong claims. ITTAKESLUV (7) made it two wins from her last five outings when getting home by a head last week at Hamilton. Draws for a trail and strikes to 50 per cent here. She is capable of getting the job done again. ALWAYS BE TECHY (1) drew on the back row and worked in her last-start fourth at Hamilton eight days ago. Her lone win came at this distance and she gets the ace draw. PRESIDENTIALCHANGE (6) is suited returning to circuit and distance where he owns a good record.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Rocknroll Willow at Hamilton over 1660m in a 0-2 WINs on April 13 at $41. Raced better the start before that with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1780m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-5.4 beaten 13 m by Backbeach Peter (2:08.40) in 2 LIFETIME WINS on April 7 at $10. Closer draw this time so worth another chance.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Sr1) over 2190m at this track beaten 50 m by Famous Label (2:46.60) in NR up to 44 on April 7 at $81. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, well beaten by Go Jack Crocker (2:45.10) in 4yo+ NR 46 to 51 on March 14 at $51. Finds a few better. Hard to have on those efforts.
