Mildura Race 2 - Get Well Laurie Harford Pace

CHEERS POVERTY (9) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1790m at this track, finishing third and just a head from the winner. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. BEARTASTIC WRITER (1) finished sixth last start, beaten 30 metres here over 1790m. Draws the coveted pegs and expecting a very good run. PUNTO CALIENTE (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1790m at this circuit. Top-three credentials. Should run a big race. COURTNEY KATARINA (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and is one for the exotics.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind To The Nines at this track over 2190m in a NR 40 to 49 on May 16 at $31. Then a handy effort when third after being driven well back, behind Avoca Blues at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on May 23 at $26. Sure to play a major role.
