GORTKELLY PIXIE (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (29.53) in an A5 at this track.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Settling well back last time over 480m at this track but wound up late to finish third (29.91). Sure to improve on the experience. Holds top-three claims.
