Globe Derby Race 3 - Sa Horse Of The Year Function May 1 Pace
MAGIC CAPTAIN (6) wasn't beaten all that far two runs back at Port Pirie then got the win he deserved last time out over 2070m at Gawler, arriving 13 metres ahead of the runner-up. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. NORMANS GIRL (3) worked to find the lead and kept giving to salute last time out over 1800m at this track in an improvement on recent efforts. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. OAKHAY (2) is the next elect off a last-start win by 3 metres at Gawler over 1609m. AMIRA MARIE (5) resumes and looks ready to put her best foot forward on the back of three trials.

Resuming after 11 weeks off the scene. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Ruthless Offender at this track over 1800m in a 5 LIFETIME WINS on February 2 at $4.80. Should be there at the business end.
