Port Pirie Race 1

Midstate Hardware Pace

Prize Money: $3,500

SEABREEZE LAD (1) is looking to improve on his last-start fourth behind Cardigan Sniper at Listed level over 1720m at Melton 12 weeks ago. The one to beat from an ideal draw. CRUNCH RULES (2) returned from a break in very good order last start when successful over 1609m at this track on September 8, getting home by 1.4 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. SAL WESTER (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. FARROH GODDESS (4) broke last start and finished a distant last over 1609m at this track when resuming. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back.

Last preparation only had 2 starts before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win by 1.4 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, held up early, at this track (2:02.60) beating Machfreddy in on September 8 at $2.60. Hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Roll With Mustard (1:58.90) on August 25 at $13. Showed ability the outing before when she posted a big 4.5 m win (Fr4) at Globe Derby Park (2:19.70) beating Wishful Desire in 2yo on August 22 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 2.2. Drawn well this time and expected to finish closer.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at this track on September 8. Two runs back 5th (Fr2) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 60 m by Ideal Miki (2:16.80) in 2yo on June 27 at $2. Strips fitter and is a solid top-three chance.
