Gawler Race 3 - Nixon's Function Centre Mixed Stake Pr1 Division1
BRAX KEEPING (1) finished third last time (30.83) at Murray Bridge after winning at his previous two outings. Makes plenty of appeal. TODD KEEPING (3) has a terrific record here with eight wins and one placing from nine starts. Was out of placings last time (26.05) at Murray Bridge in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Suited here and expected to run well. SHREWD (5) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 6 length win at this track in a handy 30.44. Has a tricky draw to overcome but has the ability and in winning form. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. JUST A NUISANCE (7) jumped best and was never headed last time. Big chance again.

Missed the frame latest (26.05) when fifth over 455m at Murray Bridge in a Grade 4/5. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Can feature with the right run.

Dominant winner showing plenty of speed to post a big 6 lengths victory in a Grade 6 last start at this track, clocking a scintillating 30.44 over the 531m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Angle Park (30.83) beating Toledo in a Grade 6 on July 27 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
