Mildura Race 2

Happy Birthday Trish Bub Jones Pace

Prize Money: $7,000

JUST MOCHA (3) scored at Globe Derby Park three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fourth over 2230m there, beaten 16 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Primary contender if she is at her best. THEBUCKSONYOU (4) went back last start and didn't measure up when 10 metres from the winner in sixth at this track over 2190m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. ROYAL SAXON (6) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2190m here. Top-three aspirations on best form. UNITED (1) is a live hope following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this course. Include from the pegs draw.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by a head (Sr2) at this track (2:15.70) beating Ronzel Rafa in on July 3 at $4.20 at the bell was 2nd-2.8. Hard to leave out on current form. Is expected to run well again.
