Gawler Race 3 - Nixon's Function Centre (N/P) Stake Pr1 Division1
SOLO MAN (4) missed the frame last time at Mt Gambier but the start prior rocketed around 400m at this track in 22.64. Can measure up on top win two back. FEAR THE DRAGON (5) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins and two placings. Placed last time (22.81) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Suited here and expected to run well. DAYNE'S CALAIS (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.72) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Speedy beginner who should be prominent early on from an inside box. Expected to be in this for a long way. LONG GULLY ASH (7) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Having his first run at Gawler. Comes off an average run last start over 395m at Murray Bridge when sixth behind Diogo Keeping (23.24) in Grade 3/4/5. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when he was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 5.5 lengths in a Other at this track and clocking a hot 22.64 for the 400m trip. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2 length second (22.81) over 400m at this track. Has an outstanding 22.71 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
