Gawler Race 8

Nixon's Function Centre Grade 6 Series F Pr1 Divis

Prize Money: $1,860

CULBURRA (3) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.73 beating VICTA BOB. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Looks to have an edge on most of these. RICKI'S BURNER (2) finished third (31.43) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Angle Park. Expected to give a good account. TIME TO FIRE (7) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when fourth (31.66), beaten 7 lengths. Finished second the start before. Great chance to atone. BLUE INTENSITY (1) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 531m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Placed last time (31.03) at this track in a Grade 6, finishing second and beaten 4.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished 4th on January 10 over 531m at this track behind Super Sequin beaten 7 lengths (31.66) in a Grade 6. Placed two back at Warrnambool. More than capable and has to be included.
