Port Pirie Race 3 - Midstate Hardware Pace
LIGHTNING BLING (2) made a nice return at his latest appearance eight days ago, finishing 4.5 metres away in second over 1800m at Globe Derby Park. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS (3) made a nice return at her latest appearance eight days ago, finishing 7 metres away in third over 1800m at Globe Derby Park. Has the benefit of a good draw and her last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. ULTIMATE SAFARI (4) ended last prep with an eighth at Kilmore over 1690m 13 months ago. Can open this campaign with a much more positive effort. LOVE OF THE SEA (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out. One for the exotics players.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1800m after showing early pace at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 5th-15.4 beaten 4.5 m by Cecil Peak (2:13.60) on August 3 at $1.90. Should improve so expected to run well again.

Having her second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 2nd-7 beaten 7 m by Cecil Peak (2:13.60) on August 3 at $5. Sure to play a major role with added fitness.
