Globe Derby Race 5 - Bargain Steel Centre Pace (Sky 1)
SIGNATURE LOOK (7) stretched his unbeaten run to four when he dictated last time out at Victor Harbor, leading and getting home by 8 metres. Draws wider but was dominant in his lone attempt at this circuit and distance to back. Should be winning again. DEUCE COUPE NZ (11) led last time out and scored in a far better performance at this circuit and distance, scoring by close to 9 metres. Tougher draw but should perform well again. WHATA OPTIMIST (9) is worth including off a last-start win by 6 metres, his second success from his last three outings here. DIDMESELFAMISCHIEF (1) gets the ace draw and cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound second to WHATA OPTIMIST.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Balladoro at this track over 1800m in a NR up to 49 on March 28 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Whata Optimist at this track over 2230m in a NR 44 to 49 on April 4 at $4.50. Draws well so may be there at the business end.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Port Pirie (1:55.80) beating Magic Captain in 6 LIFETIME WINS on March 31 at $3 at the bell was leading 1.6. Hard to leave out on current form. Winning form deserves some respect.

Last start was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr4) over 2160m at Victor Harbor beaten 8 m by Signature Look (2:42.80) in NR 50 to 57 on April 5 at $18.40. Two runs back was well back before the turn; won by 1.1 m as favourite (Sr3) at Gawler (2:33.30) beating Emrites in NR 41 to 46 on March 30 at $2.30 at the bell was 7th-12.4. Rough exotic hope.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr5) over 2230m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 3rd-2.8 beaten 19 m by Whata Optimist (2:45.10) in NR 44 to 49 on April 4 at $18.90. Before that 8th (Fr1) over 1800m at this track, beaten 16 m by Letsstartinheaven (2:10.80) in NR 50 to 59 on March 28 at $101. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Has won all four starts. Won by 8 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Victor Harbor (2:42.80) beating Linxx in NR 50 to 57 on April 5 at $1.04. Two runs back posted a big 18 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:12.30) beating Stay Angry in 2 LIFETIME WINS on March 28 at $1.04. Highly promising and can maintain the unbeaten record.

Last start 2nd (Fr5) over 2070m after showing early speed at Gawler was leading by 6.9 at the bell, beaten a nose by Clarenden Sakura (2:31.70) in NR 47 to 54 on March 30 at $1.90. Two runs back won by 1.75 m when quickly away, (Fr7) at this track (2:13.30) beating Sweet Arpeggio in 3yo+ NR up to 54 FM on March 21 at $6 at the bell was leading 1.2. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
