Port Pirie Race 4

Frank Borg Short Term Finance Pace (Sky 2)

Prize Money: $4,500

TEMBIE (8) enjoyed the drop in grade from the Southern Cross Final when he came from this same barrier and scored by 9.5 metres last time out. That added to a strong record at this circuit and distance. Can do it again. ALAKAZAM (7) is racing well at this venue having finished second last start after a good win the outing prior. Goes well at this shorter distance and there is no harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Primary contender. BULLY BOURNE (3) switches from NSW and resumes for a new yard. Has won fresh before so could measure up. HESASHARK (4) must be respected after setting a new track record when scoring last start by 9 metres at this venue.

Surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 16 m by Tembie (1:55.30) in NR 55 to 64 on December 3 at $18. Before that 4th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 15 m by Stereophonic (1:57.80) in NR 47 to 54 on November 26 at $21. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.

Didn't do much last time out, was well beaten after breaking at Globe Derby Park on December 9. Before that 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Tembie (1:55.30) in NR 55 to 64 on December 3 at $151. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 9th (Sr3) over 1609m at this track, well beaten by Tembie (1:55.30) in NR 55 to 64 on December 3 at $41. Two runs back solid effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 m by Tembie (1:56.30) in NR 50 to 59 on August 31 at $21. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Can improve.
