Mildura Race 5 - Mcginty Family 0-3 Ltw (Nr 55) Pace
CELESTIAL NEBULAE (8) has been hard to fault of late and made it two wins in a row when successful at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, coming from this row and getting home by 3 metres. Big chance again. ROYAL ROCKSTAR (4) produced a very good effort here last time, finishing third and just a neck from the winner. Came from this barrier to win at Ballarat three back. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. LISTEN TO THE HAND (3) copped a check and broke last start but won here three back and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw. RONZEL RAFA (6) had a tough draw last start but can do better returning to the front row.

Last start 9th (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 22 m by Celestial Nebulae (2:17.50) on August 28 at $101. At the run before was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1790m at this track, beaten 40 m by Don Crunch (2:11.40) on August 7 at $81. Draws the inside so worth another chance.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Kyoretsu at this track over 1790m on July 31 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Celestial Nebulae at this track over 1790m on August 28 at $81. Can play a role in the finish again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Sr3) over 1790m at this track beaten 12 m by Celestial Nebulae (2:17.50) on August 28 at $6. The run previous 6th (Fr4) over 1790m at this track was 9th-16.6 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Flame Blaster (2:15.90) on August 21 at $3.90. Capable of a better showing.
