Mildura Race 2

Club Aquarius Pace

Stake: $4,360

APOLOGY ACCEPTED (7) turned in an out-of-character effort last start when 16 metres away in seventh over 1790m at this track. Form prior to that had been solid. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to return to form. STARVIN MARVIN (9) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 2190m here, beaten 9 metres. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. ULTIMATE EGO (5) disappointed last time when 11th over 1790m at this venue. Is much better than that and can atone. STONEBRIDGE STAR (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2190m at this course three weeks ago. Can trouble the judge again.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track beaten 40 m by Cheers Poverty (2:43.80) in NR up to 49 on August 1 at $41. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track beaten 21 m by Cheers Poverty (2:46.10) in NR up to 49 on July 18 at $6. Will not find this easy. Needs to lift.

Last start was eleventh behind Cruz With Rome at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on July 18 at $51. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1790m at this track, beaten 3 m by Punto Caliente (2:13.60) in NR up to 49 on July 11 at $26. Rates highly. Will be in the finish if she finds her best.

Two back was seventh after being driven well back, behind American Boxer at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on July 11 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Cheers Poverty at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on July 18 at $13. Expected to go well again.

Last start 5th (Fr1) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 9th-13.2 beaten 14 m by Flyin Tommy (2:44.90) in NR up to 49 on August 1 at $81. At his previous start 9th (Fr1) over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 40 m by Senna Storm (2:44.50) in NR 50 to 55 on July 21 at $81. No surprise if he turned things around.
