Mildura Race 2 - Mcdonalds Irymple & Mildure Pace
WICKED CONFESSION (9) made an impressive start for Alex Ashwood when she went to the front in the early stages and drew right away to record an emphatic 67 metre win last week at this circuit and distance. Tougher draw on the back row but it was hard not be taken by last week's stunner. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (5) added to a series of top-four finishes at this venue when he came from the back row and finished third last start. Good enough to take out a race like this. OUR MASTER PLAY (6) worked from a tough draw last start so was far from disgraced when midfield. Respect off that effort. ESCOBAR NZ (3) drew on the second line last start but worked to the lead before boxing on for fourth so can take advantage of a good draw.
