Mildura Race 2 - Mildura.com Mdn Plate
Debutant POINT THE WAY (5) is a fascinating subject here, getting to the races after a few impressive trial performances, but the latest of them was back on March 16. That's some sort of query, but in that latest jumpout he finished fourth but went to the line with plenty in hand. The one prior he was a dominant on-speed winner. A winning debut would not shock. BLACKJACK (1) has always carried a bit of a boom and had his first start since changing stables on the Ballarat syntho on Jun 26 when he was a respectable third, albeit beaten four lengths. He'll be better for that and looks a key player again. BOLD JESTER (2) is from a camp whose horses improve with racing, so expect a peak performance after a couple of adequate performances to start the career. IMPENDING FURY (4) has changed camps since his latest appearance and a couple of nice trials hint at an improved showing. FRAM STRAIT (3) is an ex-Godolphin gelding who has the talent to win.

Second run back. First-up after six months held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 26 over 1200m, 4 len behind Harry De Lad with 59.5kg at $5. Previously second-up 3rd of 16 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on January 1 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Possibilities with 58kg at $2.45. Fitter and worth following up.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 12 at Moe Mdn-Sw on June 18 over 1208m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Too Tough with 59.5kg at $4.80. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on July 6 over 1300m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind Jasmina with 59.5kg at $1.85. Plenty of scope for improvement and is right in the mix.

Gelding by Blue Point making his first appearance. Fitter for a jump-out on March 16 at Camperdown when finished fourth. Dominant trial winner two back before not being knocked around at the latest, looks to have talent.
