Mildura Race 1 - John Salisbury 11 Mdn Plate
MIKE'S HOPE (5) resumes. He showed good ability in two runs last campaign, in the market on debut at Cranbourne when third before a solid effort in town. That form has worked out fairly well and with natural improvement this time around he'll go close. BLACKJACK (1) ran a nice race first up at Ballarat Synthetic when running into third. Onto turf here is fine and up to 1400m will suit nicely. IMMORTALISED (3) has been good in two runs back at Pakenham Synthetic and should be at peak fitness now. He'll take holding out. SIBUN (7) stuck on well fresh at Ballarat Synthetic when beaten a length and will come on from that. He should take catching. BRAZEN WARRIOR (2) next best.
