Mildura Race 2 - Wayne Hill Leading Driver 2025 Pace
SHES MAGICAL (10) hit her peak third-up when she took control early and cruised home in a 1790m race at this venue last start, arriving 18 metres ahead of her rivals. Freshened since and has a tougher draw but still a winning hope again. DIAMOND KRUSHER (6) draws wider but is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by nearly 7 metres at this circuit and distance. HES A MODERN BOY (2) came from this barrier when finishing runner-up at this circuit and distance last time out. Expect another strong showing. CONNIES PRESIDENT NZ (8) draws on the second line but there was merit in the last-start fourth.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Fr5) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 60 m by Im Alright Jack (2:13.10) in NR up to 45 on January 23 at $126. Before that 9th (Fr3) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track beaten 23 m by Sunshine Warrior (2:13.00) in NR up to 39 on December 26 at $41. Needs to lift.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track was 2nd-4.4 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Diamond Krusher (2:42.50) in NR up to 39 on January 23 at $6.50. Up in grade but can go well again from a low draw.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 10th (Sr3) over 1790m at this track, beaten 30 m by Orator (2:12.20) in NR up to 45 on January 23 at $34. May need more racing.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by 18 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:13.00) beating The Ninja in MAIDEN on December 26 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 9.2. Has the ability to overcome an awkward draw and win again.
