Gawler Race 7 - Tony Piccolo Mp, Member For Light Pace (Sky 1)
REACT TO BEAUTY (7) worked to get to the lead and kept finding to salute last start over 1800m at Globe Derby Park after a sequence of minor placings recently. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. WHATA OPTIMIST (8) finished fourth last start over 1790m at Ararat, beaten 25 metres, after a good win at Shepparton the run prior. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. EMRITES (9) disappointed last time when eighth over 1800m at Globe Derby Park. Is better than that and can turn things around. TRIGGER (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth at Globe Derby Park over 1800m.

Others make more appeal.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fourth behind Calculating Dancer at Globe Derby Park over 1800m NR up to 42 last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third at Globe Derby Park in NR up to 43 on February 7. A big run would not surprise.

Last start was fourth behind Ocean Avenue at Ararat over 1790m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 27 at $10. Raced better the start before that where he won by a head (Sr4) at Shepparton (2:03.30) beating Really Smartie in NR 38 to 43 on February 17 at $4.40 at the bell was 5th-7.82. Capable of taking this out.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr1) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 7th-9 beaten 8 m by Clarenden Legacy (2:13.80) in NR 44 to 49 on February 21 at $7. Showed ability the outing before when she won by a nose (Fr5) at Globe Derby Park (2:12.10) beating Martys Party in NR up to 44 on February 10 at $4.20 at the bell was 6th-9. Great chance to bounce back.
