Stawell Race 4 - Stawell Ag, Horse & Pet Pace
BETTORPATCHMEUP (3) finished third at Ararat on February 27 before making up plenty of ground but finding a couple better at his latest appearance over 2195m at Ararat. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can find winning ways. HOME AND DRY NZ (8) turned in a good effort at his latest appearance to get home by a narrow margin over 2150m at Bendigo on March 25. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Primary contender in this comparable race. WOW YOU CAN DANCE (5) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1680m at Terang a week ago. TEX GOES BANG (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1650m at Bendigo on March 25.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Neds Beach at Ararat over 1790m in a NR up to 40 on February 27 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Line Up Jacquie at Ararat over 2195m in a NR 39 to 45 on March 23 at $13. Drawn to advantage and among the chances again.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Midnight Mojo at Melton over 2240m in a NR up to 49 on March 20 at $6. Stewards queried driving tactics. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Huxham Chubb at Terang over 1680m in a NR up to 45 on March 27 at $10. One of the primary contenders.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2195m at Ararat was 6th-7.4 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Line Up Jacquie (2:45.10) in NR 39 to 45 on March 23 at $81. At his previous start good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr2) over 1780m after showing early speed at Mt Gambier, beaten 17 m by Roblen Ranger (2:12.40) in 4yo+ NR 41 to 45 on March 14 at $3.20. A big run would not surprise.
