Gawler Race 7

Nixon's Function Centre Open Stake Pr1 Division1

Stake: $2,325

TECTONIC (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (23.30) last time in a OPEN at this track. Form here is sound including five wins. Better than last start and worth following up. BO CRUZ (7) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 2 lengths from Brindle Benny in third (23.24) at this track. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Hard to beat again. BOOTS (1) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and three placings from 13 starts. Scored by 5.5 lengths last time (22.72) in a Grade 4/5 over 395m at Murray Bridge. Looks suited here and can measure up. TOWN STRANGER (3) put a gap on his rivals last start. Must be respected.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.72) over 395m at Murray Bridge. In top form and can make it three straight.

Was out of placings last time (23.30) at this track in a OPEN, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Has three wins and five placings from nine starts from the draw. Makes strong appeal.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 400m at this track in 22.85, set up by a fast early sectional. Looks a solid hope.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 342m at Angle Park. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
