Mount Gambier Race 3

Limestone Coast Charters Pace

Prize Money: $3,500

HILLDALE SUNRISE (6) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last five starts, most recently recording a third over 1780m at this track. This should be an easier assignment so he is set to continue his impressive recent form. SMOKIN STREPO (3) finished seventh last start, beaten 14 metres at Terang over 1680m. Expect him to be prominent. LIVERMERE (4) disappointed last time when tenth over 1680m at Terang. Can turn things around. CRIME BOSS (1) is worth some thought despite his last-start eighth over 1755m at Echuca on March 10.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr1) over 1785m after showing early pace at Stawell, beaten 60 m by Loan Sailor (2:11.30) in NR up to 40 on April 3 at $8.50. Before that 10th (Sr3) over 1680m at Terang beaten 50 m by Ima Charma (2:02.30) in NR up to 50 on March 2 at $151. Not keen.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1680m at Terang beaten 14 m by Huxham Chubb (2:05.80) in NR up to 45 on March 27 at $19. At the previous start 7th (Fr3) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 7th-10 beaten 10 m by Well Well (2:16.60) in NR up to 39 on March 23 at $7.50. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 10th (Fr1) over 1680m after showing early pace at Terang beaten 24 m by Admiralofthefleet (2:02.50) in NR up to 47 on March 27 at $81. At the start before 6th (Fr1) over 1710m at Ballarat, at the bell was 4th-5.07 beaten 13 m by Shazza Love (2:04.90) in NR up to 47 on March 19 at $21. Capable of more than she has shown recently.

Well beaten last start by Smokin Strepo, a rival who she faces again; was restrained, when 40 metres seventh at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 39 race on February 17. Can't see her featuring.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Ittakesluv at this track over 1780m in a NR up to 39 on March 6 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Wow You Can Dance at this track over 1780m in a 4yo+ NR up to 40 on March 14 at $8.50. Going nicely and looks very hard to beat.
