Mildura Race 2 - Park Douglas Printing Pace (1St Heat)
LOVE TO DEAL (2) ran second last start at Port Pirie over 1609m, beaten 7 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is set to play a significant role. SPRING DELIGHT (9) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 8 metres from the winner in fourth over 1790m at this track. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. RONZEL MICKY (7) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1790m at this track. PUNTO CALIENTE (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1790m at this track.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Dark Sands at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on April 1 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Partyatthebeach at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on April 4 at $7. Has the inside draw and is expected to go very well.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Dark Sands at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on April 1 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Beartastic Writer at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on April 4 at $23. One of the better chances.

Didn't do much last start, 11th (Sr2) over 1790m at this track, beaten 45 m by Beartastic Writer (2:13.70) in NR up to 49 on April 4 at $51. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1790m at this track beaten 45 m by Cheers Poverty (2:13.40) in NR up to 49 on March 3 at $126. Cannot enthuse.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Swan Hill (2:08.50) beating Flexi Bet in NR up to 49 on March 25 at $15 at the bell was 4th-4m on the pegs. Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1790m at this track, beaten 4 m by Beartastic Writer (2:13.70) in NR up to 49 on April 4 at $9.50. Sure to play a major role.

Didn't do much at the last run, 9th (Sr5) over 1790m at this track beaten 24 m by Beartastic Writer (2:13.70) in NR up to 49 on April 4 at $81. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2190m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 8th-20.6 beaten 18 m by Better Blue Boys (2:44.70) in NR up to 49 on March 28 at $34. Hard to have on those efforts.
