Mildura Race 3 - The Butcher Mildura Pace (1St Heat)
COME ON SLOOPY (2) has been racing well of late. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1609m at Port Pirie, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. APOLOGY ACCEPTED (8) finished second last start, beaten 16 metres at this track over 2190m. Expect him to be prominent. COURTNEY KATARINA (1) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. Each way value with the advantage of the pole position. SIR VINCENT (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 1650m at Bendigo. Can do a lot better, so worth considering for all combinations.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.5 m second behind Trigger at Globe Derby Park over 1800m NR up to 40 MANUAL PACERS last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres fourth at this track over 1790m in NR up to 49 on March 3. Winning prospects.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth behind Laylas Princess at Gawler over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on March 24 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Jilliby Chambers at Port Pirie over 1609m in a NR 41 to 46 on March 25 at $6. Expected to be in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Mariahs Shadow at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on March 14 at $17. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Orama at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 21 at $19. Should be in the mix again.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Midnight Pirate at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on March 14 at $26. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Machstique at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 21 at $8. Will make his presence felt.
