Mount Gambier Race 2

Collins Court Butcher Pace

Stake: $5,130

DOCTOR GO JOH (9) settled in the leading division but couldn't finish the race off and could only manage sixth last start over 1785m at Stawell, that effort coming after a minor placing at Horsham the run before. Hard to know where he gets from this slightly awkward draw but has the ability to find the winners' list. DARK AND HANDSOME (10) finished fourth last start, beaten 19 metres at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. Talented and has plenty of upside and expecting a very good run. BAYSIDE VICTORY (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this track. One for the multiples. ONA MERRY DANCE (7) is worth some thought despite her last-start ninth over 2150m at Bendigo on November 19. Capable of a lot more.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track, well beaten by Colossal Hope (2:42.60) in NR 45 to 52 on November 18 at $126. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Port Pirie beaten 30 m by Balladoro (1:59.60) in NR up to 40 on November 11 at $7.50. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 4th-5.9 beaten 5 m by Grinning Reactor (2:48.40) in NR up to 40 GROUP on December 2 at $26. Before that, surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 45 m by Grinning Beach Boy (2:44.30) in NR 45 to 52 on November 18 at $151. Strips fitter now and is capable of a lot more.

Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1700m after showing early pace at Horsham was leading by 3.2 at the bell, beaten a nose by Ittakesluv (2:03.20) in NR up to 45 on November 24 at $2.90.
