Mildura Race 8 - The Ridley Family Pace
GUEST ARTIST NZ (1) was held up for a clear run when beaten 5m at his latest appearance. Led when he scored at this venue two runs ago so has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw. JUST INCREDIBLE (2) was solid when fourth last start after a good win from a wider barrier at this circuit and distance the run prior. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Could give this a real shake. GOOD BOOTS BINDI (9) is on the radar after putting a series of top-four results together. KEAYANG MOROCCAN (8) draws on the back row again but should be at his peak at the fourth run back from a spell.

Failed to impress last start; surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr3) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 5 m by Cemetery Bay (2:12.80) on August 28 at $4. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 3.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:12.80) beating Cheers Poverty in on August 21 at $2.70 at the bell was leading 2.6. Strong claims from the ace draw.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, beaten 9 m by Kyoretsu (2:41.20) on August 28 at $14. At her previous start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 2200m at Horsham beaten 22 m by Savon De Roche (2:43.40) on July 27 at $26. Deserves another chance.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:13.50) beating Rubbleonthedouble in on August 28 at $26. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth after a quick start, behind Just Incredible at this track over 2190m on August 21 at $6.50. Prefer others on this occasion.
