Globe Derby Race 8 - Valley Horse Transport Trotters Handicap
CADENCE LANE (5) was responsible for a far better performance at her latest appearance when successful over 1800m at this track, getting home by 4.5 metres after leading. Stepping up a level this time but she is good enough to take this out. OUR SPITFIRE NZ (3) maintained the recent momentum last time out when successful over 2050m at Port Pirie, getting home by a head after leading. Leading hope in a similar assignment. DAISY BOUCHEA (4) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 2050m at Port Pirie four days ago. THE VICARS GIRL (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Port Pirie over 2050m. Include from the coveted pegs draw.

Two back was eleventh behind Daisy Bouchea at Kapunda over 2200m in a NR up to 59 on March 8 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Our Spitfire at Port Pirie over 2050m in a NR 44 or better on March 17 at $5.50. Progressing well. One of the main contenders.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second behind So Vogue at this track over 2230m in a NR up to 48 on January 28 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Cadence Lane at this track over 1800m in a NR up to 53 on March 16 at $10. Has claims based on recent efforts.

Last start was fifth behind Our Spitfire at Port Pirie over 2050m in a NR 44 or better on March 17 at $3.80. Raced better the start before that where she won by 1.1 m (10m Fr1) at Kapunda (2:51.60) beating Our Spitfire in NR up to 59 on March 8 at $8.50. Strong contender.

Last start won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:14.70) beating Tiney in NR up to 53 on March 16 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 3. Should be in the finish again.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr6) over 2230m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.2 beaten 12 m by So Vogue (2:49.70) in NR 54 to 69 on March 16 at $12. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Daisy Bouchea at Kapunda over 2200m in a NR up to 59 on March 8 at $71. Not keen.
