Mildura Race 4 - Pfd Food Services Pace (2nd Heat)
WOW YOU CAN DANCE (5) finished fifth last time out, beaten 5.5 metres, in a far better performance at Warragul over 1790m. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. BIG BAD CHAD (6) finished third last start, beaten 3 metres at this track over 1790m. Expected to run well. SNEAKY PHILTRA (8) disappointed last time when seventh over 2190m at this venue. Is better than that and can bounce back. GROVE DALE (1) could only finish sixth over 1790m at this course most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix from the coveted pegs draw.

Two back was sixth after being driven well back, behind The African Queen at Ouyen over 2040m on May 10 at $71. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Caulonia Bella at this track over 1790m on June 5 at $23. Very hard to beat.
