Globe Derby Race 5 - 2026 Hygain 2yo Sapling Stakes (Sky 1)
SOUTH AUSSIE STAR (8) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane in play. Readied with a nice trail so could pick up where he left off. KOJAX (3) is a newcomer to the Ryan Hryhorec from NSW where was a Newcastle winner at his second outing. Should enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position so could measure up. CECIL PEAK (4) takes a step up but has upside and is one of the main contenders after winning his two starts here off a spell. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. JADES REASON (1) deserves respect after winning from this barrier last start.

Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a neck (Fr1) at Mildura (2:14.80) beating Captivate Me in on September 4 at $8.50 at the bell was 3rd-5. Can play a role in the finish again.

Two-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1800m. Last start won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:14.40) beating Murra Lane in on August 10 at $1.40. Must respect winning form.

Two-year-old gelding by Tiger Tara out of Bubbas Princess on debut. Finished second at Globe Derby Park in a trial on August 10 over 1800m. May need this hitout.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1800m at this track, beaten 19 m by No Good Reason (2:15.80) in 2yo on September 5 at $18. Two runs back 5th (Fr3) over 1800m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.2 beaten 15 m by Sal Wester (2:19.70) in 2yo on August 22 at $5.50. Hard to have on those efforts.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run 9th (Sr1) over 1800m at this track, beaten 35 m by Ice Queen (2:17.90) on May 25 at $8. Has only trialled once and might need this pipe-opener.

Last start 9th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 55 m by Cardigan Sniper (2:43.00) in 2yo on September 5 at $151. Before that, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 35 m by Cardigan Sniper (2:41.50) in 2yo on August 28 at $101. Has a good record here so might find this easier than recent attempts.
