Port Pirie Race 6 - Spartalis Solutions 2yo & 3yo Pace

MICKTHEBESTBUTCHER (6) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 4.5 metres, in a nice return to form at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. His recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. SAL WESTER (2) made a winning return at her latest appearance two weeks ago, getting home by a nose over 1609m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw and her last-start form is good enough to put her right in the finish. AGRIPPA (3) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1800m at Globe Derby Park eight days ago. Should find this assignment a touch easier. SCHMIKI (5) resumes. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 1850m at Marburg 11 weeks ago. Can run a big race while fresh.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr3) over 1800m after showing early pace at Globe Derby Park beaten 30 m by Cecil Peak (2:13.60) on August 3 at $7.50. Two runs back 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten a nose by Sal Wester (2:04.10) on July 28 at $1.75. This looks tough.

Only had 3 starts last preparation. Returned to racing with a handy win by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:04.10) beating Major Apdal in on July 28 at $3.80. Sure to be further improved and is a top winning chance again.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1800m after showing early speed at Globe Derby Park beaten 30 m by Cecil Peak (2:13.60) on August 3 at $11. At his previous start solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Sal Wester (2:04.10) on July 28 at $9.50. Well-placed and can improve sharply.
