Mildura Race 8 - Mildura Bowls Carnival Starting April 26Th Pace
LITTLE LOUIE (8) has had four runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished ninth over 2300m at Menangle. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (6) finished third last start over 1720m at Melton, beaten 1.75 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2190m at this track. Has the ability to take care of this field. ALL DA RAGE (9) is better than his last-start seventh over 2190m at this track. KEAYANG MOROCCAN (4) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 2190m.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, beaten 20 m by United (2:43.20) in NR 64 to 75 on April 4 at $23. Two runs back was well back in the run when surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (Fr6) over 2190m at this track was 2nd-3.9m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 7 m by United (2:41.00) in NR 64 to 75 on April 1 at $101. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 4.5 m by United (2:43.20) in NR 64 to 75 on April 4 at $6. At the run before game effort despite getting well back, 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. Strong claims on what we have seen lately.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track beaten 50 m by Joe Got Rolled (2:40.40) in No NR on April 1 at $51. Before that, 8th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track, beaten 30 m by Rio Rock (2:39.90) in NR 65 or better on March 14 at $34. Certainly worth another chance.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track beaten 35 m by Dee Roe (2:46.40) in No NR on April 1 at $151. Before that was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr3) over 2190m at this track, well beaten by Rio Rock (2:39.90) in NR 65 or better on March 14 at $81. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 9th (Fr2) over 2300m after showing early speed at Menangle beaten 25 m by Montalbano (2:45.50) in NR up to 95 on February 22 at $6. The start before 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-2.4m 3WNC beaten 13 m by Kosimo (1:51.20) in NR up to 95 on February 15 at $3.50. Capable of a better showing.

Last start 7th (Sr4) over 2190m at this track beaten 35 m by Joe Got Rolled (2:40.40) in No NR on April 1 at $19. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 2190m at this track was 2nd-2.4 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Maxy Wants To Play (2:40.50) in NR 65 or better on March 28 at $6. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.
