Mildura Race 4 - Park Douglas Printing Pace
BEARTASTIC WRITER (1) was prominent from the outset last time out and finished runner-up, beaten 5 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1790m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a nice race and will prove very tough to beat once more. GLITZY ALL OVER (9) has been racing well of late. Finished third at her latest appearance over 2190m here beaten 1.4 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw but is good enough to win a race of this calibre. PUNTO CALIENTE (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this venue over 2190m. Hard to find fault. DARK SANDS (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4 metres at this circuit over 2190m. Can go back-to-back.

Backing up quickly after 5th (Sr3) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 8th-15.3m on the pegs beaten 9 m by Dark Sands (2:47.90) in NR up to 49 on April 1 at $7. The run before 5th (Sr1) over 2190m at this track was 6th-14.8 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Mariahs Shadow (2:45.60) in NR up to 49 on March 28 at $23. Has the ability to figure prominently from a better draw.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr3) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 3rd-8.2 beaten 13 m by Mariahs Shadow (2:45.60) in NR up to 49 on March 28 at $18. Two runs back raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:15.60) beating Melfield Soryt in MAIDEN on March 21 at $31 at the bell was 2nd-4.2. Nicely drawn and gets her chance to bounce back.

Two back was fourth after being driven well back, behind Midnight Pirate at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 28 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Orama at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on April 1 at $4.40. Has the ability to take this out.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 2190m after racing wide at this track was 8th-20.6 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Better Blue Boys (2:44.70) in NR up to 49 on March 28 at $34. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park beaten 30 m by Boulder City (2:13.40) in NR 46 to 53 on March 22 at $151.
