Mildura Race 2 - Mcdonalds Irymple & Mildura Mdn Pace
CAPTIVATE ME (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last seven starts, most recently recording a second over 2190m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw and his recent form is good enough to take out a race like this. ALMIGHTY RUSH (3) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1790m here, beaten 8 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. SEASIDE LADY (7) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at Ballarat over 1710m. Hard to find fault. CRUEL MISTRESS (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at her most recent appearance over 2190m at this circuit. One for the multiples.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind My Ultimate Henry at this track over 2190m on August 14 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when second after showing early speed, behind Youve Been Served at this track over 2190m on August 21 at $4.80. Leading contender.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1790m at this track beaten 30 m by The Ninja (2:14.70) on July 31 at $41. At the run before was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m after racing wide at Port Pirie, beaten 13 m by I Need Agirlfriend (2:) on July 15 at $14. Much better gate this time and expected to finish closer.

Returns to racing after a spell of a year. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when eighth at very long odds behind Just Jimmy. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, beaten 30 m by Youve Been Served (2:48.10) on August 21 at $41. Two runs back hung in on scoring up, 4th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 23 m by My Ultimate Henry (2:48.40) on August 14 at $26. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
