Mildura Race 9 - Prestige Equine Vet Services Pace
BELLA ABBY (7) was out of the money two back at this track. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 2190m here beaten 1.5 metres. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. PARTYATTHEBEACH (6) ran sixth last start here over 2190m, beaten only 10 metres. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. ROBERT CROCKA (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2190m at this venue last time out. Top-three aspirations. SKADI (4) disappointed last time when sixth over 1609m at Charlton. Can do a lot better so worth considering for the multiples.

Eight-year-old mare showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 2nd (Fr1) over 2190m at this track was 3rd-5.1m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 4 m by Dark Sands (2:47.90) in NR up to 49 on April 1 at $17. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Midnight Pirate at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 28 at $151. Will find this tough.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 6th-10m 2WWC beaten 8 m by Dark Sands (2:47.90) in NR up to 49 on April 1 at $26. Solid top-three prospects.

Two back was eighth behind Celestial Daybreak at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 7 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Punto Caliente at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on March 21 at $7.50. Hard to beat.

Showed ability the run before when he came from midfield and won by 1.4 m (Sr2) at Melton (2:07.90) beating Silver Domino in NR up to 36 on March 14 at $18 at the bell was 3rd-3.23. Better than the last run so worth another chance.
