Mildura Race 2

Zilzie Wines Pace

Stake: $4,320

ORAMA (3) did a good job at her latest appearance over 1790m at this track, beaten 1.4 metres into fourth after being up on the pace until straightening. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can play a big role. HESASTAR (9) ran third last start at this track over 1790m, beaten 8 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. GRENADE (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 2190m. Genuine threat. FLYIN TOMMY NZ (7) disappointed last time when eighth over 1790m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1790m at this track was 4th-4.4 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Red Hot Miki (2:14.10) in NR up to 49 on June 6 at $10. At the run before 8th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track, beaten 22 m by Cruz With Rome (2:45.90) in NR up to 49 on May 30 at $6. Much better gate this time and expected to finish closer.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Avoca Blues at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on May 23 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Apology Accepted at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on May 30 at $11. Going well and expected to be in the finish.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Sr1) over 1790m at this track beaten 50 m by Mariahs Shadow (2:12.90) in NR up to 49 on May 23 at $101. Before that 11th (Fr6) over 2190m after racing wide at this track, beaten 45 m by Apology Accepted (2:46.70) in NR up to 49 on May 16 at $61. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 30 m by Mason Dixon Line (2:11.50) in NR 50 to 55 on June 6 at $16. At his previous start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track, beaten 17 m by Im Stuck Man (2:43.40) in NR 50 to 55 on May 30 at $34. This looks a suitable assignment.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Amys Baby Angel at this track over 2190m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 30 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Adieu Mikennis at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on June 6 at $8. Top chance in this line-up.
