Mildura Race 3 - Cheers Poverty Horse Of The Year 2025 Vicbred Voucher Mares Pace
The recent form of BRAVE ART (8) has been hard to fault with two wins and two placings from the last four outings. Came from this barrier and scored at her latest appearance at Wedderburn, getting home by 3.2 metres. Won the only time she raced here. Big chance again. THE DEVIL ROLLS ON (9) draws on the second line but is going very well made it two wins from the last four outings when scoring by 1.4 metres at Charlton last start. SWEET ARPEGGIO (4) is hard to knock off back-to-back SA wins. Led and found plenty to score narrowly at Globe Derby two-and-a-half weeks ago. Must respect along with RONZEL MICKY (6) who draws wide but would go close with a repeat of his effort to win from the back row here three back.
