Port Pirie Race 2

S.d. Caputo & Sons Pace

Stake: $4,270

LADY LA SALLE NZ (6) has not raced for 20 months but looks forward enough for the return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Unbeaten at this distance. Will have plenty of admirers. BALLADORO (2) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 2.5 metres from the winner in third at Globe Derby. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and he owns a decent record at this circuit and distance. MY ULTIMATE SKEETA (5) is a two-time second up winner so looking for big improvement with a run under his belt. SHIREEN (3) came from this barrier to win the last time she started on the front row.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2050m at this track, beaten 22 m by Lochinvar Leader (2:27.50) on July 15 at $151. Before that, 8th (Sr2) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 35 m by The Reginator (2:10.70) on June 27 at $15. This looks a suitable assignment.
