Port Pirie Race 8 - Spencer Motor Company Pace (Sky 1)
LIGHTNING BLING (2) scored at his last run just three days ago over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, getting home by 2 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. MEET ME AT THE BEACH NZ (7) finished fifth last start over 1800m at Kapunda, beaten 14 metres, after a good win at Globe Derby Park the run prior. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BURNING HOT (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1609m at this track last time out. WELL WELL (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. Include in combinations.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Globe Derby Park (2:09.50) beating Parisian Bandit in on October 7 at $2.40 at the bell was 2nd-4. Can go back-to-back.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Parisian Bandit at Kapunda over 1800m on October 4 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Lochinvar Ruler at Globe Derby Park over 1800m on October 7 at $23. Worth following up.

Won easily three starts back at this track over 1609m on August 25. Last time out 9th (Sr4) over 1800m at Kapunda, well beaten by Edgar Bromac (2:11.00) on October 4 at $126. This looks a suitable assignment.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1800m after showing early speed at Kapunda was 3rd-2.6 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Edgar Bromac (2:11.00) on October 4 at $4. Showed ability the race before when she won by 2 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Globe Derby Park (2:13.20) beating Malachite Rock in on September 22 at $3.20 at the bell was leading 0.2. Worth another chance.
