Mildura Race 5 - The Butcher Mildura Pace (3Rd Heat)
MIDNIGHT PIRATE (10) scored two runs back then recorded a comfortable win last start, scoring by 8 metres over 1790m at this track. He is good enough to overcome a tough gate and win again. BEARTASTIC WRITER (7) registered another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1790m at this track. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Meets a comparable field, and he can grab that well-deserved win. LILBITAHENRYTEE (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 2190m at this track. Can make amends. GLITZY ALL OVER (6) is also in the mix.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Midnight Pirate at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on March 14 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Orama at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 21 at $18. Each way value.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Celestial Daybreak at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 7 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Mariahs Shadow at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on March 14 at $10. Bright prospects again.

Last start 7th (Sr4) over 2190m at this track, beaten 21 m by Machstique (2:47.00) in NR up to 49 on March 21 at $126. Before that, 8th (Fr6) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 45 m by Midnight Pirate (2:10.80) in NR up to 49 on March 14 at $13. Tricky draw again but he can find winning form.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track. Last start posted a big 8 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:10.80) beating Image Of Starzzz in NR up to 49 on March 14 at $2.40 at the bell was 7th-14.3m on the pegs. With even luck can win again.
