Reefton Racecourse Race 5

ATL ELECTRICAL REEFTON MOBILE PACE

Stake: $11,580

TROUBLESHOOTER (7) finished third last start over 2600m at Patterson Park, beaten 6 metres, after a good win at Addington the run prior. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Finds a nice race and can bounce straight back to the winner's circle. KOTARE KELSO (8) resumes here after closing his last prep with a seventh at Patterson Park on March 7. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expecting a very good run. RED WINE KISSES (2) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 2600m at Patterson Park a week ago. APATCHOFGOLD (1) is the next elect off a last-start win by 8 metres at Patterson Park over 2600m.
