Gawler Race 8

Trio Sign Group Stake Pr1 Division1

Prize Money: $1,740

DURAN PANTERA (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at Murray Bridge over 455m behind BIG DIESEL (26.46) in a Grade 6. Placed at her previous run. Looks the one to beat on her best form. BIG DIESEL (8) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 1.5 lengths (25.85) at Murray Bridge. Expecting another bold showing. DASHING NANDO (7) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when second (28.53) at Bendigo and may be close to breaking through. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can measure up. HANDOVER (3) is in the mix after placing last time out.

Comments

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 5th on March 2 over 455m at Murray Bridge behind Big Diesel beaten 8 lengths (26.46) in a Grade 6. Placed two back at Angle Park. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Showed good improvement when second behind Argyle Whiskey at Bendigo last start over 500m (28.53). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 455m at Murray Bridge by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 6. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Stick with him.
