Globe Derby Race 4 - Bargain Steel Centre Pace
CLARENDEN SAKURA (4) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved her victory last time out, scoring by a neck over 1800m at this track. Meets a similar line up so she can certainly make it two on the bounce. ROYAL SAXON (8) finished second last start, beaten 8 metres, in a nice return to form at Mildura over 1790m when second-up from a break. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. THE NOTORIOUS R B G NZ (9) must be considered after she finished third over 1609m at Port Pirie six days ago. BEAUTY ABOVE (3) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her score over 1800m at this track.

Last start failed to finish when she ran at this track on November 29 over 2230m. Two runs back 7th (Fr7) over 1800m at this track beaten 30 m by Torque Intheusa (2:12.10) in 3 LIFETIME WINS on November 24 at $126. Prepared to overlook until her racing manners improve.

Last start 5th (Fr1) over 2230m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 10 m by Star Man (2:46.60) in NR 44 to 51 on December 7 at $41.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 1800m at this track beaten 30 m by Calculating Dancer (2:12.20) in NR up to 43 on December 7 at $41. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 15 m win after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:13.60) beating Lucky Bambino in 2 LIFETIME WINS on December 1 at $6. Has the ability to figure prominently from a better draw.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Jilliby Kymy Lou at Stawell over 1785m in a NR up to 55 on November 30 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Shes Poppy at Mildura over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on December 10 at $5. Progressing well. Can continue the good form and take this out.
