Globe Derby Race 8 - Hilltop Fresh Flowers Pacing For Pink Pace (Sky 1)
WHATA OPTIMIST (5) was 4.5 metres away in third at this track over 1800m last start at his first run back from a spell. Won't find this any harder and he can continue the strong start to the campaign. ROCKING WITH CHARM (6) was in the money at this track two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track, beaten 17 metres. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. MAJOR MAD (1) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when fourth at this track over 2230m. Must be included. SUPERCHARGED (2) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this track over 1800m.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind My Bucks Night at this track over 1800m in a 4yo+ NR up to 40 on May 19 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Rockin Bull at this track over 1800m in a 3yo+ 5 Lifetime Wins on May 24 at $51. Can play a role in the finish again.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1800m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Blacktop Rock (2:11.90) in NR up to 49 on May 24 at $6. Sure to be there at the business end.
