Mildura Race 8 - Hbf Fabrications Pace Final
HES OLLY (5) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then his luck changed last time when he broke and finished a long way back in tenth over 2190m at this track. Must improve his manners but a return to form is on the cards. UNITED (1) settled handy then took control of proceedings and scored in a 2190m race here just three days ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Stepping up a level this time but he is capable of playing a major role. DON ARTHUR (9) is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 2190m at this circuit three days ago. Is better than that effort suggests. CEMETERY BAY (10) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 2190m at this venue on April 1. Can bounce back.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 2190m, 3 days ago before that surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 30 m by I Bet You (2:10.00) in NR 65 or better on March 21 at $21. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr5) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 6th-15.8m on the pegs beaten 6 m by United (2:41.00) in NR 64 to 75 on April 1 at $19. Not the worst.

Last start was tenth after a quick start, behind United at this track over 2190m in a NR 64 to 75 on April 1 at $3.50. Performed better the start before with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr3) over 2070m at Gawler, at the bell was 4th-4.2 beaten 7 m by Springfield Affair (2:29.20) in NR 60 to 69 on March 24 at $4.40. Capable of far better.

Two back was ninth after showing early speed, behind I Bet You at this track over 1790m in a NR 65 or better on March 21 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind United at this track over 2190m in a NR 64 to 75 on April 1 at $101. Expected to go well again.

The run prior 7th (Fr2) over 1200m after showing early speed at Melton, beaten 24 m by Bulletproof Boy (1:23.70) in No NR on March 22 at $26. Likely improver who is worth including.

Last start 6th (Sr4) over 2190m at this track beaten 21 m by United (2:41.00) in NR 64 to 75 on April 1 at $6.
