Mildura Race 8 - Park Douglas Printing Pace
CELESTIAL NEBULAE (6) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last seven starts including a second most recently at this track over 1790m. Meets a comparable field and he can add to the impressive recent record. CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (5) finished third last start, beaten 2.5 metres at Gawler over 1609m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. PERFECT GAMBLE (4) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1609m at Port Pirie six days ago. COME ON BILLEE (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1790m at this track. Include in combinations.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fifth behind Keilah at Port Pirie over 1609m last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres third at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in 4yo+ on September 12. Rates highly and expected to go well.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Listen To The Hand at this track over 1790m on September 4 at $2.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Bersagliere at this track over 1790m on September 18 at $1.80. Winning prospects.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr2) over 1790m at this track, well beaten by Bersagliere (2:12.10) on September 18 at $71. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 2240m at Swan Hill beaten 60 m by Woodville Flyer (2:48.30) on July 24 at $61. Others make more appeal.
