Mildura Race 1

Laser Signs And Print Pace

Stake: $4,320

KARDESLER (3) finished second at his most recent outing, beaten 2.75 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 2190m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the sound recent effort. AVOCA BLUES (8) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2190m here, beaten only a head. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Big chance based on recent form. GRENADE (7) broke last start but still managed to win by 1.2 metres over 2190m at this circuit. That was a pleasing progression after missing the placings the run before. Live chance again in a similar assignment. DARK SANDS (4) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at this venue over 2190m. Top-three aspirations.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 2190m, 7 days ago and two back 6th (Fr2) over 1790m at this track, beaten 30 m by Apology Accepted (2:15.70) in NR up to 49 on May 6 at $61. Not keen.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr5) over 2190m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 30 m by Cruz With Rome (2:45.00) in NR up to 49 on May 16 at $31. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track beaten 11 m by Shireen (2:14.80) in NR up to 49 on May 6 at $10. This looks tough.

Two back was tenth behind Chalkncheddar at Ouyen over 1654m in a NR up to 39 on May 11 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Cruz With Rome at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on May 16 at $4.60. Progressing well. One of the primary contenders.

Two back was fourth after showing early speed, behind Lombok at this track over 1790m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 6 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Apology Accepted at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on May 16 at $3.30. Looks very hard to beat.
