Mildura Race 8 - Aust Pacing Gold Pace
TOPZAVSKI (2) put the wiring on the wall when he led and boxed on for third last start at Kilmore, beaten 5.3 metres. That looks a decent form reference for this and he draws to push forward again so can get the job done. CORNELIA (4) recorded back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance before coming from the back row in a shorter race on Tuesday. Returns to the front line. Major player. PUNTO CALIENTE (7) last appeared when fourth here three-and-a-half months ago but has performed well fresh in the past. Look out for any positive market movement. GRENADE (8) draws on the back row again but cannot be left out after solid recent performances.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Bettorsweetvictory at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 40 on March 25 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Olly Odd Potts at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR up to 35 on April 2 at $2.60. May prove hard to beat.

Returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Miki Mark at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on December 30 at $16. Could be primed for a big run.
