Port Pirie Race 5

John & Glenys Tee Memorial

Prize Money: $8,000

JOHN VINCENT (5) resumes after good success last prep, winning on seven occasions. Races very well here with three wins and two placings from five attempts and is proven fresh. Well placed for a winning return. RUTHLESS OFFENDER (1) did some work last start but was going very well prior with three wins and a second from the previous four outings. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so can bounce back. NICKS PICK (3) was a solid fourth at Globe Derby last start but won twice in a row here prior, taking his strike rate at this circuit to 50 per cent. Respect along with CLASSIC LINE (4) who returns to the front row and owns a decent record here.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Deuce Coupe at Globe Derby Park over 1800m on June 13 at $10. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr3) over 2230m after being wide early at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 2nd-1 beaten 5.5 m by Magic Captain (2:48.30) on May 30 at $18. Can make amends from this draw.

Returns to racing after a spell of nine weeks. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when tenth at very long odds behind Ruthless Offender. Probably needs this hitout.

Resuming after six months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 8 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Kathys Free at Victor Harbor over 2160m on December 29 at $3.90. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 4 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Globe Derby Park (2:47.70) beating Night Spirit in on July 19 at $1.45. Well placed for a winning return.
