GOING: N

DANCINGINTHEDARK M USA @ ALDEBARAN PARK TROTTERS HANDICAP (SKY 1) 2230m

Track: GOOD      

REGAL ATTIRE (7) produced another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish second over 1800m at this track. Will appreciate a return to Globe Derby Park where he is always tough to beat. Facing a tougher assignment, but he is up to the task. STOCKMAN PETER (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 2230m. Expect him to be prominent. Include in all combinations. POWDERKEG (6) is a multiple winner at black-type level who lines up for the first time since finishing 60 metres behind by Callmethebreeze at Group Three level over 3150m at Kilmore on September 27. A big run while fresh is on the cards at this level. ALDEBARAN DEXTA (2) is looking to improve on his last-start modest effort behind Rakero Blaze at Listed level over 2530m at Port Pirie two weeks ago. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (10m Fr3) over 2530m at Port Pirie well beaten by Rakero Blaze (3:13.90) in LR NR 56 or better on April 12 at $8. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3.5 m (FT Fr1) at this track (2:51.30) beating Tweedledee in NR 56 or better on April 5 at $9 at the bell was leading 2.4. Capable of more than he has shown recently. In the mix if on-song.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Rakero Blaze at Port Pirie over 2530m in a LR NR 56 or better on April 12 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Kyvalley Heist at this track over 1800m in a NR 60 or better on April 22 at $4.60. Bold showing expected again.
