Gawler Race 8 - Nixon's Function Centre Grade 5 Series F Pr1 Divis
VELVET LEGEND (5) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Below best last time at Murray Bridge (22.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Rates a leading player. AMRON TIGER (2) shapes nicely here coming off an exceptional 22.72 win at this track over 400m. Expecting another bold showing. WITCHER ROSE (1) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing third (23.13) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and three minor placings from eight starts. Can feature again. WYONG GRESHAM (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent narrow defeat.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (23.13) over 400m at this track. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.
