Gawler Race 2 - Trio Sign Group Stake Pr1 Division1
CRYSTAL CROWN (5) lines up here off a comfortable win at Murray Bridge Straight after jumping from box 5 (19.49). Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. The hardest to beat again. PAW MANTRA (7) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (23.21) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Bold showing expected. IMPRESS BUGSY (1) ran sixth in a Grade 4/5 last time, copping a check in the run and finishing 10 lengths from the winner over 395m at Murray Bridge. Has two wins from Box 1. Rates a leading chance. NITRO NED (8) cannot be ruled out.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh on October 26 over 400m at this track behind Long Gully Ash, beaten 8 lengths (23.51) in a Grade 5. Happy to risk this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Murray Bridge Straight over 350m in 19.49 last start, beating Croydon Reign. Can make it two on the bounce.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4.5 lengths second (23.21) over 400m at this track. Should prove hard to beat.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
