Gawler (G) Race 12

Nixon's Function Centre Stake Pr2 Division3

Stake: $1,026

TALBOT ROAD (5) ran below her best last time finishing fourth (30.88) over 530m at Angle Park in a Grade 6. Has a strong record here including four wins. Her last run is a proven strong form reference. Ready to return to form. BLACK CARNATION (2) won again and recorded an impressive time to make it two in a row, scoring by a nose (19.96) at Angle Park over 342m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Should feature again. RAFFERTY BLUES (4) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Angle Park over 530m behind Scary Eyes (31.86) in a Grade 6. Was in the money prior to that. Should be in this for a long way. SOUTH KING (7) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a nose win at Angle Park over 342m in 19.96, making it two wins on end. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.68) over 395m at Murray Bridge. Tough draw to overcome but capable of a better result.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 0.8 lengths win at Angle Park over 342m in 20.07. Top-three hope with the right run.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 6 on May 14 over 400m at this track behind Springvale Shell beaten 4 lengths (23.39). This looks too tough.
