Mildura Race 1

Horse Queened Pace (1St Heat)

Prize Money: $4,000

MAGGACIS (7) finished ninth two starts back at this track then followed that with a commanding win last start over 2190m here, getting home by 30 metres after finding the lead in the early stages. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up so he can keep the ball rolling. NEVS DREAM (6) could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 2190m at this circuit, a poor reflection on her short quote. Form prior to that was solid, including a victory over 2190m at this venue two starts ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. GRENADE (3) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished second at this course over 2190m. CORNELIA (5) disappointed last time when ninth over 1790m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering for the exotics players.

Comments

Well beaten last start by Maggacis, who he meets again; when 60 metres seventh at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 46 race on March 10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Ronzel Micky at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on February 18 at $19. Then a handy effort when second behind Maggacis at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 46 on March 10 at $6. Leading contender.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Neds Beach at Gawler over 1609m in a NR up to 39 on March 4 at $51. Then a handy effort when third after being driven well back, behind Maggacis at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 46 on March 10 at $13. Likely improver worth including.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 2nd (Fr3) over 2190m at this track, beaten 18 m by Soar (2:45.20) in NR up to 45 on September 27 2024 at $126. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
