Port Pirie Race 3 - Port Pirie Rsl Anzac Country Graduation Series (Heat 4) (Sky 2)
MACHETE ROULETTE (4) is going great guns with back-to-back wins. Worked to the front and drew away to spank her rivals by 16m at this venue last start. Progressive filly who can land the hat trick. BALLADORO (1) resumes for a new yard after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance at Maryborough. Has the benefit of the ace draw and can make an immediate impact. HY FILANTE (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth from this barrier at Globe Derby last time out. Go well. SPORTSFLIGHT (2) must be considered having placed in all four starts since winning here.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Cyclone Brenda at this track over 2050m in a 3yo+ 4 Wins over $3,000 on March 2 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Lochinvar Jewells at this track over 1609m in a NR 41 to 46 on March 25 at $5.50. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.
