Mildura Race 2 - Australian Pacing Gold Pace
BEAUTY ABOVE (5) resumes after finishing fourth at her latest appearance at Port Pirie on November 12. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. WILD IDEAL (6) finished seventh last start, beaten 30 metres at Swan Hill over 1750m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expected to run well. BACKPADDOCKJACK (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. Top-three candidate. CREDULOUS (9) is worth some thought despite her last-start sixth over 2190m at this track on April 1. Worth another chance.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track, beaten 22 m by Mariahs Shadow (2:45.60) in NR up to 49 on March 28 at $6.50. This will fully test.

Last start won by 4 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Globe Derby Park (2:16.80) beating Niteonthetown in 1 Lifetime Win on March 11 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 2m on the pegs. Has a low draw and is a leading player.

Failed to impress last start; failed to finish when he ran at this track on February 26 over 2190m. Showed ability the race before when he won by a head (Sr2) at this track (2:13.70) beating Apology Accepted in NR 50 to 55 on February 12 at $4.20 at the bell was leading 0.4. Well placed to make amends.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1750m at Swan Hill beaten 30 m by Surfe La Mer (2:04.00) in NR 50 to 55 on March 25 at $26.

Certainly up to this and she is a major player.
