Globe Derby Race 8 - 2026 Australian Drivers Championship October 3 @ Globe Pace
LUCKY BAMBINO (3) worked to find the lead and kept kicking to make it two wins in succession last start over 1800m at this track, getting home 4 metres ahead of his rivals. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and is good enough to take out a race like this. LOWER MANHATTAN (2) resumes. Last raced when 4.5 metres away in fourth at Port Pirie over 2050m four months ago. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Well-placed to open this campaign with a win. MIDNIGHT CRIMES (7) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 2230m here five days ago. TUFFASNAILS (1) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1800m at this circuit. Include from the pegs draw.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1800m. Last start posted a big 4 m win after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:12.40) beating Grumpypants Gracie in 3yo on August 31 at $5 at the bell was leading 3.6. Is the testing material.

Two back was eighth behind Linxx at this track over 1800m on August 22 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Heez A Vibe at this track over 1800m in a 5yo on August 31 at $10. Expected to go well again.
