Mildura Race 4 - Park Douglas Printing Pace (3Rd Heat)
GRENADE (10) resumes from a spell of eight months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 2050m at Port Pirie. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. PARTYATTHEBEACH (5) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance when he scored by 8 metres over 1790m at this track. Big chance in a similar race. ROBERT CROCKA (3) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1790m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. MUSTANG DAISY (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.2 metres at this track over 1790m.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr4) over 2190m after racing wide at this track, well beaten by Balmy Bob (2:45.10) in 3yo+ NR up to 50 on January 24 2023 at $101. Probably needs this hitout.
