Mildura Race 6 - Mildura Gateway Tavern (Bm56)

PACKERS JOURNEY (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Ballarat Synthetic, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m when she did her best work late. Best figures measure up. BRULLEN (3) is a last-start winner over 1500m at Ballarat Synthetic, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a nose. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and has solid claims. MR MARKLE (2) saluted at Casterton two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third over 1000m at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. FORMIDABLE FORCE (1) will be better for the run and has a lot of weight but boasts the best last-start performance in the race. OWL WITNESS (9) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at Ballarat Synthetic.

At the latest run favourite; won by 1.5 len at Ballarat Synthetic Bm52 July 3 over 1200m defeating Gargantuan with 59.5kg at $3.80. Before that ran last of 14 at Swan Hill Sw H Cup on June 7 over 1600m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Cartoon Graveyard carrying 54kg at $201. This tougher than last-start win, but hard to knock now in form.
