Gunbower Race 3 - Mawsons 0-1 Ltw Pace
ROCKY ROCKS (8) finished second last start over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 14 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1680m at Launceston. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. GALLICO (5) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 13 metres victory over 2200m at Ballarat. Big chance in a similar race. YANKEE RAIN (4) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton. FLAMING MEL (7) last appeared when she got home by 7 metres over 2040m at Ouyen seven months ago. Should be thereabouts.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 2170m at Albury, beaten 21 m by Set Play (2:45.50) in 0-1 WIN on December 9 at $81. Two runs back was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 35 m by Monsieur Flamel (2:45.30) in NR up to 45 on December 2 at $51. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 11th (Fr6) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 50 m by Ollies The Boss (2:33.10) in 3yo No NR CG on November 26 at $151. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 2190m at Maryborough, beaten 21 m by Written In Silk (2:40.70) in NR up to 49 on November 17 at $101. Has the job ahead.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton was 5th-8.08 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Fiano (2:03.50) in NR 50 to 55 on November 28 at $4.80. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1740m after showing early speed at St Arnaud was 3rd-4.2 at the bell, beaten a head by Lilstrepo (2:07.90) in NR 46 to 51 on November 9 at $17. Fitter and well-placed to make amends.

First up. At the last run she posted a big 7 m win when quickly away, (Fr3) at Ouyen (2:36.90) beating Brieisbetter in MAIDEN on May 11 at $3.80 at the bell was leading 1m on the pegs. Awkwardly drawn but expected to run a bold race.
