Port Pirie Race 5

Spillman Air Pace

Prize Money: $3,500

DON CAPITANO (2) made a winning return to the track at his latest appearance over 1800m at Globe Derby, fighting well to score by a nose after taking charge of proceedings a fair way from home. Won his only previous attempt at this circuit and distance and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Fitter so looks tough to beat again. MAGIC CAPTAIN (3) carried on a string of wins and placings from last campaign when he was 3 metres away in third when resuming at Globe Derby. Has the benefit of a better draw and won the only time he raced over this distance here. Fitter so looks a danger. ANTIGUAS BE BE (1) resumes after 12 weeks. Yet to win fresh but had decent form last time in and gets the ace draw. TOMMY MACH (4) is first up for four months but is proven fresh and can open this campaign with a positive effort.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 5th-6 beaten 3 m by Hereforagoodtime (2:13.20) in NR 48 to 57 on March 21 at $23. Strong chance with that run under the belt.
