Globe Derby Race 7 - 2026 Sa Botra 2yo Pacing Colts & Geldings Southern Cross Series Final (Listed Classic) (Sky 1)
Looks a battle between the two Emma Stewart runner. CASTERTON (7) is really delivering now and made it three wins on the trot when he came from the back row and worked but dug deep to land the Golden Nursery Final last start. Draws wide but is unbeaten at this circuit and distance so is good enough to overcome the barrier and score again. AUSTON (6) hasn't raced since the Vicbred Super Series where he placed in both his heat and a semi-final at Melton. Readied with a trial and and won his only other fresh attempt. CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS (9) led and fought well when just edged out by CASTERTON last week. Tougher draw but can get into the finish again. ONE AUSSIE (3) is next best from a fair draw.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1800m at this track beaten 12 m by Hilltop Crunch (2:13.10) in 2yo on October 31 at $7.50. Before that 7th (Fr6) over 1800m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track beaten 65 m by Rankine (2:09.30) in 2yo on October 17 at $34. Hard to have on those efforts.

Brings the right form to the table. Tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:11.10) beating Champagne Problems in 2yo on October 24 at $1.35 at the bell was 2nd-0.2. Two runs back won by 8 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (2:09.70) beating One Aussie in 2yo on October 17 at $1.28 at the bell was leading 1.2. Strong winner last time and can deliver again.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following October 17 run. Last start won by 3 m (Sr1) held up early, at this track (2:14.60) beating Parvati in on November 2 at $4 at the bell was leading 4.2. This race will be harder than that win. Much tougher here.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Rankine at this track over 1800m in a 2yo on October 17 at $31. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Casterton at this track over 1800m in a 2yo on October 24 at $31. Can play a role in the finish again.
