Gloucester Park Race 4

Mister Smartee, 2024 Golden Nugget Winner Ms Pace

Stake: $20,900

SKYLORD (3) drew wide last start and was safely held at this track over 2130m. Has the benefit of a far better draw in an easier assignment and can get the job done this time. MAUNGATAHI (4) ran sixth last start at this track over 2130m, beaten 22 metres. Expect him to be prominent. STORYTELLER (10) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 2130m. Hard to find fault. FRANCO ECUADOR (11) is a reliable conveyance who was fourth most recently at this track. Must be included in all combinations.

Last start was well back in the run when 12th (Fr3) over 1730m after racing wide at this track, beaten 30 m by Street Hawk (2:01.90) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $20,000 on December 20 at $101. At the start before solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 2130m after showing early speed at this track beaten 12 m by Rockandrollartist (2:33.90) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $20,000 on December 13 at $91. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Among the leading players.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 4th (Fr3) over 2569m after being wide early at Bunbury, beaten 7 m by Gregarmy (3:13.30) in 3yo+ L7/8 on March 2 at $6.50. Might need some time.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 11th (Fr7) over 2130m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 25 m by Brickies Dream (2:32.50) in 3yo+ L10/11 HWOE LT $70000 on December 20 at $9. The run previous 7th (Sr1) over 2536m at this track beaten 8 m by Mister Smartee (3:07.60) in 4yo G1 GROUP 1 OPEN on December 13 at $19. Deserves another chance.

Didn't impress first-up at this course beaten 22 m sixth after showing early speed, behind Frisky Styx over 2130m in a 3yo+ L8/9 HWOE LT $40000 on December 13. Will take a lot from that run; major player.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last start. Won by a nose as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:34.40) beating Rakero Raider in 3yo+ L5$ LT $12,000 on December 21 at $3. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth behind Lamandier at Albany over 2265m in a 4yo+ L7/8 on December 13 at $9. Might find this beyond him.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1730m at this track, beaten 25 m by Paul Edward (2:03.90) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $20,000 on December 20 at $41. Before that 6th (Fr7) over 2130m at this track beaten 9 m by Alta Rhett (2:36.20) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $20,000 on November 22 at $21. Not keen.

4th (Fr1) over 1730m at this track beaten 8 m by Paul Edward (2:03.90) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $20,000 on December 20 at $6. Before that was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2130m at this track, beaten 14 m by Goodfellaz (2:32.70) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $25,000 on December 13 at $126. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr8) over 2130m after being wide early at this track, beaten 10 m by Tualou (2:32.60) in 3yo+ L8/9 HWOE LT $40000 on December 20 at $20. Best figures should see him go well again.

Seven-year-old entire who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 4th (Fr5) over 1730m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 5.5 m by Brickies Dream (2:02.90) in 3yo+ L5$ LT $25,000 on November 22 at $2.35. Can make amends.
