Mildura Race 4

Mick Rhoden And Family Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

KEAYANG CRIPPA (7) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his victory last start, doing some working before cruising home by 11 metres at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy a soft run on the inside of the second line and if he gets the gaps he can salute again. SNEAKY PHILTRA (1) has been solid from back row draws of late and should get every chance from the ace draw. That gives her strong claims. DAYLIGHT (2) was less than 3m off the winner last start and draws to advantage. HESASTAR (6) has been racing consistently so deserves respect.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Captain Paprika at this track over 2190m on August 21 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third behind Our Master Play at this track over 1790m on August 28 at $7.50. Has the ability to figure prominently.

Didn't do much last start, surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 12 m by Our Master Play (2:13.20) on August 28 at $71. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track, beaten 24 m by Captain Paprika (2:46.30) on August 21 at $51. Likely to struggle again.
