Globe Derby Race 3 - 2026 Kevin & Kay Seymour South Australian Pacing Cup (Heat 1) (Sky 1)
SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (3) has been racing extra well and wasn't disgraced last time when runner-up at Menangle over 1609m, beaten 5 metres after travelling in a forward position. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. THE LAST TRIP (5) comes here fresh from a second in a Group Two feature won by Fox Dan four weeks ago over 2240m at Melton. Ready to run another big race in this weaker affair. FOLLOWTHEACE (2) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2240m at Melton last time out. HOT DEAL (1) has place claims after finishing fifth over 1700m at Horsham last time out.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1700m at Horsham beaten 30 m by Forty Love (2:00.10) on October 5 at $14. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2190m at Mildura, at the bell was 5th-9.8 beaten 3.5 m by My Ultimate Jimmy (2:41.60) on September 30 at $3.20. From a decent drawn is expected to do better this time.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Jaccka Evan at Kilmore over 1690m on September 17 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Mount Barker Boy at Melton over 2240m on October 2 at $5.50. Leading chance again.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle was 5th-18.28 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Dangerous (1:50.00) on September 26 at $7.50. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by 2 m (Fr8) at Menangle (1:49.40) beating I Got Chills in on September 19 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 5.59. Capable of playing a major role.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following September 26 run. Last start won by 1.2 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:08.50) beating Cee Cee Lou in on October 3 at $4.33 at the bell was 2nd-2.4. This race will be harder than that win. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Port Pirie beaten 16 m by Rockin Gemma (1:52.50) in 4yo+ on October 10 at $23. Two runs back 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Port Pirie beaten 4 m by Repelling (1:55.80) in 4yo+ on October 10 at $5. Hard to have on those efforts.
