Mildura Race 2 - Mildura Bowls Club Pace

PLAYNICE (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 9 metres into seventh at Melton over 1720m. Drawn to advantage on this occasion and is good enough to take out a race like this. WHITE STAR VILLAGE (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3 metres from the winner in fourth over 2230m at Globe Derby Park. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. PUNTO CALIENTE (9) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1790m at this track two weeks ago. Top-three credentials. CHEERS POVERTY (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at this circuit over 2190m. Can trouble the judge.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1790m at this track, beaten 6 m by Cruz With Rome (2:12.90) in NR up to 49 on July 18 at $11. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.3 m (Fr1) at this track (2:13.60) beating Cruz With Rome in NR up to 49 on July 11 at $14. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
