Mildura Race 4 - Australian Pacing Gold Pace (4Th Heat)
CRUZ WITH ROME (8) has been most impressive of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 2190m at this track, getting home by 19 metres. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Finds a nice race and can chalk-up the hat-trick. CAVALRY (4) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a courageous second last start over 2190m here despite copping interference and galloping in the run. Has the ability to take this out. DAYLIGHT (5) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2190m at this circuit last time out. In the mix on best form. ROBERT CROCKA (2) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 2190m at this course. Can trouble the judge again.

Solid run when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Cruz With Rome at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on June 27 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when second behind Cruz With Rome at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on July 4 at $15. Going along well. Genuine threat.

Last start was sixth after showing early speed, behind Cruz With Rome at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on July 4 at $26. Raced better the start before that where she won by 6 m after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (2:46.00) beating Glenlea Hanover in NR up to 49 on June 27 at $9.50 at the bell was leading 4.8. Leading contender on best form.

Before that 5th (Sr1) over 1790m at this track beaten 11 m by Ronzel Micky (2:13.20) in NR up to 49 on June 20 at $71. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher contest.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 2190m. Last start posted a big 19 m win after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:43.80) beating Cavalry in NR up to 49 on July 4 at $4. Can make it the hat-trick of wins.
