Prize Money: $6,999

PER ARDUA AD ASTRA (5) is going great guns and made it four wins on the trot last start, coming from this same barrier and cruising home by 11 metres at Globe Derby. First visit to this circuit but he can certainly add to the winning sequence. LOCH LOMOND (2) made an immediate impact in his first SA outing, scoring by 5.3 metres at Globe Derby. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Danger. TREACHEROUS ROCK (1) gets the ace draw and is racing well with a string of top-three finishes including a Globe Derby win two back. CLARENDEN EXPRESS (3) won from a similar barrier to this three back at Globe Derby so respect.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m sixth behind Winston Alexander at Globe Derby Park over 2230m NR 52 to 59 last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third again at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in No NR on June 24. Racing well and not without merit.
