Port Pirie Race 1 - 'The Radiant' October 10 Pace
MALACHITE ROCK (3) could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, a poor reflection on his short quote. Form prior to that was strong, including a sound third over 1800m at Globe Derby Park two starts ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Steps up a level but he is good enough to turn things around. ELLA KATE (6) produced another fine effort last start when she scored over 2070m at Gawler, coming in 1.75 metres ahead of her rivals. Big chance based on recent form. WHATA OPTIMIST (2) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1800m at Globe Derby Park three days ago. SPORTSFLIGHT (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 2050m at this track.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Upright at this track over 2050m last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres fourth again at this track same class on July 28. Shapes as one to consider.

Backs up 3 days after failing to impress last start; 6th (Sr2) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park beaten 12 m by Nevada Gambler (2:13.70) on August 22 at $91. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Globe Derby Park (2:13.00) beating Keilah in on August 15 at $2.15. Looks very hard to beat.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Bohemian Braids at Globe Derby Park over 1800m on August 10 at $2.40. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1800m after showing early pace at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 4th-4.2 beaten 4 m by Emrites (2:10.20) on August 3 at $2.70. Rates highly. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 1.75 m when driven back in the field, (Sr5) held up early, at Gawler (2:37.70) beating Lardy Dah Lady in on August 17 at $4.80. Form excellent and expected to be in the finish again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Sr5) over 2070m at Gawler, beaten 40 m by Flyin Tommy (2:35.10) on August 17 at $11. At the start before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park beaten 12 m by Bohemian Braids (2:13.80) on August 10 at $17. Deserves another chance.
