Globe Derby Race 6 - 3yo Pacing For Pink Classic
IM BIG BUSINESS (5) carried on his good form from Victoria when he led to get home by 5.4m here last week. That took his record at this circuit and distance to two wins and a placing from three attempts. Draws wider but is going well enough to overcome that and strike again. HAWKESDALE DEED (4) was a class above in her latest appearance at Mt Gambier, leading and cruising home by more than 13m. Draws deeper but came from wider than this to score at Ouyen prior so could land the hat trick. CENTREFOLD STAR (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months after finishing the last campaign with a string of seconds, the last two from this draw. Won her lone fresh attempt and was readied with a trial. DELIGHTFUL DREAM (6) draws wider but has looked good in easily winning his two starts at this circuit and distance off a spell so must be respected.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by 5.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:10.70) beating Resurrects in on May 23 at $1.08 at the bell was leading 4.4. In fine form and looks a serious player again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 11 m as favourite (Fr3) overraced, at this track (2:12.30) beating Harlem Town in on May 25 at $1.33 at the bell was leading 0.2. Hard to leave out on current form. Wider but hard to knock.
