Mount Gambier Race 4 - Key 2 Sale Real Estate Pace
ELLI JOH (6) found the lead and boxed on well to finish fourth last start at Stawell, beaten 5.3 metres. Draws wider but has won all three attempts at this circuit and distance so will enjoy the trip back across the border. SMOKIN STREPO (4) was a beaten favourite when fourth last start at Stawell but did have to cover ground. Expected to run well with his best form. HILLDALE SUNRISE (3) draws well and put together a string of placings here earlier in the campaign so is worth another chance. DANCIN WITH ELVIS (5) has been down the track in his last two outings but kicked off the campaign with a win at this circuit and distance so is better placed.

Lines up again after a break of four-and-a-half months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation at this course and distance when sixth at very long odds behind Spook Crocker. Maybe later.
