Stawell Race 1 - Stawell Gift Hall Of Fame Pace
LORD VERDE NZ (2) was responsible for a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1609m at Charlton on February 2. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of making his presence felt. YANKEE MOJOH (4) finished second at Mt Gambier two runs ago before finishing third at her latest appearance over 1780m at Mt Gambier, beaten 19 metres. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. EASTBRO MIKA (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at Terang over 2180m. Hard to find fault. VILLAGE VOICE (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1780m at Mt Gambier. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr2) over 1780m at Mt Gambier beaten 15 m by We Favour Rosie (2:10.40) in NR 43 to 49 on February 3 at $15. Before that, failed to finish when she ran at Terang on January 26 over 2180m. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Expecting a much better run this time.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Spook Crocker at Mt Gambier over 1780m in a 2 LIFETIME WINS on January 20 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Spook Crocker at Mt Gambier over 1780m in a 2 LIFETIME WINS on February 3 at $2.90. Very hard to beat.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second behind Wingate Guy at Hamilton over 1660m in a NR up to 45 on January 11 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Lewielewis at Terang over 2180m in a NR 45 to 50 on January 26 at $14. In fine form. Right in the calculations.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Charlton, at the bell was 5th-8.7 beaten 10 m by Monsieur Flamel (1:55.20) in NR 46 to 50 on February 2 at $34. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1680m at Terang beaten 13 m by The Naked Art (2:01.90) in NR 50 to 55 on January 26 at $81. This looks too tough.
