Mildura (H) Race 1

Laser Signs & Print Pace

Stake: $4,320

BILUM (4) finished seventh at this track two runs ago before a comparable effort at her latest appearance over 2190m here. Meets a comparable field and she can turn in a much better performance. DARK SANDS (6) was in the money at this circuit two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 1790m at this venue. Leading hope if he is at his best. VILLAGE LOVER (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 2190m at this course two weeks ago. AUCKLAND LASS (1) is worth some thought despite her last-start ninth over 2190m at this track on June 27. Can bounce back from the coveted pegs draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr1) over 1790m at this track beaten 15 m by American Boxer (2:14.70) in NR up to 49 on July 11 at $101. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, beaten 40 m by Stonebridge Star (2:46.70) in NR up to 49 on July 4 at $61. Maybe a place from the low draw.
