Mount Gambier Race 3 - Melton Saddlery Pace (Sky 2)
YANKEE MOJOH (6) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded an effortless victory last time out, scoring by 7 metres over 1780m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. STEAM MACHINE (7) finished sixth last start over 1700m at Horsham, beaten 12 metres, after a good second at Globe Derby Park the run prior. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DARK AND HANDSOME (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second here over 1780m. Genuine threat. IMA TIGGY TIGER (5) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good win over 2190m at Maryborough two runs back. Can bounce back.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 60 m by Byrneside Boom (2:42.90) in NR 44 to 49 on February 17 at $5. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 3 m (Sr3) at Maryborough (2:46.40) beating Midnight Mojo in NR up to 49 on February 11 at $5 at the bell was 8th-13.2. In the mix on best form.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1700m after showing early pace at Horsham, beaten 12 m by Lewielewis (2:03.00) in 0-1 WIN on January 5 at $1.70.

Certainly worth another chance.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1660m after being wide early at Hamilton, beaten 45 m by Ooh Ah Listah (1:56.30) in NR up to 49 on February 23 at $41.
