Globe Derby Race 8 - The Sweet Boutique Barossa Pace (Sky 1)
FEARFULL DRAGON NZ (1) missed the placings for the third time in a row last start when 12 metres away in sixth over 1800m at this track. Recent form includes a win at this track four starts back on September 7. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. WHATA OPTIMIST (8) made it two wins from his last three appearances five days ago, getting home by a nose over 1609m at Gawler. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another big race. LINCS POOR BOY (6) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at Port Pirie nine days ago. FEAR THE BANKER (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.4 metres at Gawler over 1609m.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1800m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, at the bell was 6th-8.6 beaten 12 m by Parisian Bandit (2:12.50) on October 12 at $6.50. The start before 7th (Sr2) over 1800m at this track was 7th-12.6 at the bell, beaten 9 m by B T Captivate (2:11.20) on October 3 at $31. Likely improver.

Well-beaten 9 days ago at Port Pirie over 2050m, before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1800m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 6th-13.2 beaten 17 m by Hooklineandsinker (2:13.30) on October 7 at $12. Must do a lot more.

Well beaten last start by Whata Optimist, who he meets again; when 110 metres ninth at Gawler over 1609m in a 4yo+ race on October 14. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m after racing wide at Gawler beaten 10 m by Whata Optimist (1:58.20) in 4yo+ on October 14 at $21. Two runs back 7th (Sr4) over 1609m at Port Pirie beaten 25 m by Tuffasnails (1:54.90) on October 10 at $31. Hard to have on those efforts.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at Port Pirie beaten 8 m by Repelling (1:55.80) in 4yo+ on October 10 at $151. At the previous start 9th (Sr4) over 1609m at Port Pirie, beaten 18 m by Fe Fe On Fire (1:54.60) in 4yo+ on October 10 at $34. Certainly up to this and he is a major player.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Lightning Bling at this track over 1800m on October 7 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Parisian Bandit at this track over 1800m on October 12 at $18. Rates highly and is well-placed to take this out.
