Globe Derby Race 9 - Sa Horse Of The Year Function May 1 Pace
LETSSTARTINHEAVEN (8) is in fine form this campaign with three wins and a second from four appearances. Came from this barrier last time when successful at Port Pirie, using the sprint lane to get home. Could do the same tonight. WATCHMEDAZZLE (2) was a beaten favourite last start at Gawler but placed here prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Worth another chance. ALIVE AND FREE (3) has to come into calculations on the back of some consistent form, adding to a series of top-four finishes when third at this circuit and distance last time. TONKAWAIKON (4) is a newcomer to SA from Queensland. Two-time fresh winner so keep safe for the new yard.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Sr1) over 2230m at this track, at the bell was 5th-12.4 beaten 8 m by Rocknroll Yankee (2:47.60) in NR 47 to 54 on April 14 at $9.50. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Alora at this track over 1800m in a NR 55 to 65 on February 14 at $61. Has the job ahead.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Deuce Coupe at this track over 1800m in a NR 50 to 59 on April 4 at $4. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Letsstartinheaven at this track over 1800m in a NR 56 to 64 on April 11 at $17. Nicely drawn and can be involved in the finish.

Resuming after a spell of six months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind The Janitor at Albion Park over 1660m in a No NR on October 18 at $51. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Two-time fresh winner so keep safe for the new yard.
