Mildura Race 8 - Mcdonalds Irymple And Mildura Pace
SPORTSBOU (8) scored at her most recent outing by 2.75 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1790m. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up so she can add to the strong recent effort. GOOD BOOTS BINDI (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 2190m here. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Leading hope based on recent form. THEBUCKSONYOU (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2190m at this circuit last time out. NEVS DREAM (1) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2190m at this course. Include from the favourable draw.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr2) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track was 4th-4.4 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Just Mocha (2:42.00) on July 10 at $5. At her previous start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track was 7th-13.1 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Hez So Royal (2:48.20) on July 3 at $41. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 6th-8.7 beaten 5.5 m by Just Mocha (2:42.00) on July 10 at $5. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr2) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 4th-7.8 beaten 4 m by Hez So Royal (2:48.20) on July 3 at $14. Capable of going well on best form.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track was 7th-11 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Just Mocha (2:42.00) on July 10 at $41. Two runs back won by a head (Sr2) at this track (2:15.70) beating Ronzel Rafa in on July 3 at $4.20 at the bell was 2nd-2.8. Needs to do more. This will be too tough.

Resuming after four months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when seventh despite hanging in on scoring up, behind Fire Marshall at Charlton over 2100m on March 15 at $61. Can play a role in the finish while fresh.
