Gawler Race 5 - 1800-Got-Junk? Pace
TINY HOPE (4) is a three-year-old filly by Mel Mara on debut. Showed ability when she placed in a recent trial. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. CLARENDEN ARCADIA (6) continued her good form when she raced parked but fought on and finished second last start at Kapunda. Came from the back row to place the last time she raced here. Big chance. LAMBRO BAY (9) is stepping out for the first time. By Downbytheseaside and hails from the Pullicino stable. Hard to know where he gets to from this draw but he showed some ability when a minor placegetter in his latest trial. ULTIMATE SAFARI (2) has claims having come from this barrier to place two back.

Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1800m after being wide early at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 2nd-2.2 beaten 10 m by Ride The Highway (2:16.60) on September 22 at $23. A good showing would not surprise.

Will not find this easy. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
