Mildura Race 5 - Club Aquarius Pace
ADIEU MIKENNIS (9) was responsible for a far better performance last start, finishing third over 1790m at this track. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw but her recent form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. FLYIN TOMMY (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in third over 2190m here. Big chance based on recent form. TEXAN BRANACH (8) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1690m at Shepparton a month ago. Top-three aspirations. SHES POPPY (3) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1790m at this course on July 18. May earn some minor money.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr1) over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 40 m by Senna Storm (2:44.50) in NR 50 to 55 on July 21 at $81. Before that 8th (Fr2) over 1790m at this track well beaten by Good Boots Bindi (2:12.00) in NR 50 to 55 on July 4 at $26. Unlikely to threaten.

Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 15 m win (Sr2) at Riverina Paceway (2:06.70) beating Centrefire in NR 41 to 43 on June 24 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 9.7. Can improve sharply.

Two back was eighth behind Iamawingate at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 43 to 48 on June 24 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Orama at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on July 11 at $2. Can win with even luck.
