Port Pirie Race 2 - Midstate Hardware Pace
SWEETHEARTED (4) is a daughter of Sweet Lou on debut for the Bain yard and looks to have talent, boasting two trial wins. The Bain debut history supports her status, and her lineage through the good filly Willows Girl enhances her prospects. GETONTHEBUS (6) looks a challenger based on market expectations from her debut, though her Mildura outing saw her break stride twice. Trialled twice since so worth another chance. TIGER MUMFF (2) could be close to a win after placing in two of the last three starts, the latest from a wider draw at this circuit and distance. MAJOR APDAL (5) has been solid in two starts off a spell and could be ready to peak.

Second-up after finishing seventh in a NR up to 40 at Port Pirie, tailed off behind Normans Girl after being sent around at long odds. His previous run here was a fourth in a small field, beaten over 16 metres by Brobenah Girl, also at long odds. Fr1 helps, but recent margins say he has to improve sharply.

Improved to run third over 1609m at Port Pirie last start, albeit beaten over 11 metres by Darlington in a six-horse field. The run prior was tougher reading, finishing seventh in a 1 LIFETIME WIN here at big odds, though that race was run in a sharp 1:56.5 mile rate. Draws for another strong showing.

Debuts from Fr3 with Wayne Hill taking the drive, and the preparation has substance after a comfortable Gawler trial win. She also scored in an 1800m trial at Globe Derby Park a week earlier, while the P C Bain stable's debut record is strong. Full sibling Willows Girl adds genuine family depth through G1 and G2 feature form. Looking good at the trials so can kick off wit a win.

Drops out of a metro run at Globe Derby Park, where he finished fourth over 1800m at long odds and was beaten over 16 metres by Clarenden Nitro. Two back he was near the top of an open market at Port Pirie but finished fourth and well beaten behind Darlington. Building in fitness and ticking along well.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a costly Mildura debut, where she started favourite but finished last and beaten out of sight behind Feefifofum. Stewards reported she broke stride at the first turn and again near 1300m, so the run is forgivable only if the manners improve. Favourite there, so ability was respected, but manners must be cleaner.
