Port Pirie Race 4 - Hazell Bros Pace
MY ULTIMATE BANJO (4) has not raced for five months but looks forward enough for the return after winning a recent trial. Led from a similar starting position for a win two back at Globe Derby so expect him to take advantage of the low draw. BUSTNLOOSE (3) deserves a win after seconds in his last four starts, three of them at this circuit and distance. Has missed by very narrow margins at his last two outings and should have no excuses from this advantageous draw so could grab a win. TIGER ROARS (6) is back from a let-up but has sound form, winning won his maiden three back and coming from a similar draw to this for third at Globe Derby last start. DARK ECLIPSE (5) draws wider but must be respected after scoring a breakthrough last-start win by a nose at this circuit and distance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Dark Eclipse at this track over 1609m 1 LIFETIME WIN last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Gawler same class on March 4. Rates highly and from a low draw could break through.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park was 3rd-6 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Lower Manhattan (2:15.40) in 2 LIFETIME WINS on February 16 at $3.40. Can give a good account.
