Angle Park Race 4

2026 Sa Derby H Cta Division1

Prize Money: $5,810

LITTLE AMIGO (1) rises 80m in distance at his first try over the longer trip. In the money last start when second (25.39) at Shepparton over 450m. Looks well placed and should feature. AWESOME BANDIT (2) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 3.5 lengths win at Sandown over 515m in 29.31. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Bold showing expected again. TIP A HAT (6) could not have been more impressive last start in his lightning 21.95 win at Murray Bridge over 395m. Top win latest and rates a key player again. CRUISE COMMANDER (4) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Won two starts back over 450m at Shepparton. Last start he finished 2nd over 450m at Shepparton beaten 4 lengths (25.39) behind Canya Keep Up in a R/A FIN on August 24. Draw likely to suit. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a neck at Sandown (29.43) beating Kiwi Birchip in a Mix 6/7 on September 3. In form and can make it three straight.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won easily by 14 lengths at Murray Bridge (21.95) beating Lionel in a Maiden on August 21. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.
