Mount Gambier Race 5 - Carbine Chemicals Pace (Sky 2)
DOCTOR GO JOH (8) finished second at this track two runs ago then settled back and failed to finish off well enough at his latest appearance over 1680m at Terang, beaten 11 metres into ninth. This should be an easier assignment so he is in the right race to return to form. HILLDALE SUNRISE (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 16 metres here over 1780m. Expecting a very good run. LIVERMERE (7) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1790m at Ararat a week ago. Capable of much more. SEA HUNTER (4) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1680m at Terang four days ago.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1680m at Terang was 8th-13.3 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Watch It Happen (2:04.10) in NR up to 42 on March 2 at $5. Before that, a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr4) over 1780m after showing early speed at this track beaten 5 m by Smokin Strepo (2:11.80) in NR up to 39 on February 17 at $3.10. Can make amends.
