Port Pirie Race 6

Spillman Air Trotters Mbl

Stake: $4,270

MILITARY MERIT (3) continued his strong form when he got the job done again at the latest appearance, scoring by 1.3 metres at Globe Derby. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw so he can keep the ball rolling. STAR OF PATRICK (5) kept his manners in check and finished third from the back line last start at Globe Derby, beaten 6 metres. Returns to the front line. Major player. SETTLE THE BILL (4) is capable of featuring in a race like this with her best form. SOUTHWIND CHLOE (2) draws well and is worth keeping safe at her first run for nine weeks.
