Mildura Race 6 - Mcdonalds Irymple & Mildura Pace
OHSO KINKY (9) is back from a break of three months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw but expecting a bright start to the campaign. NANNA HELEN (3) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Has the benefit of a good draw and is likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. BETTER BLUE BOYS (8) disappointed last time when eighth over 1650m at Bendigo. Can atone. NOOSA BOY (2) resumes. Last appeared when a modest ninth over 1790m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Can feature from the favourable draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Sr1) over 2190m at this track, beaten 9 m by Dark Sands (2:48.80) in NR up to 49 on July 18 at $17. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 1790m at this track beaten 5.5 m by Orama (2:14.20) in NR up to 49 on July 11 at $71. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

At her previous start 7th (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 10 m by Orama (2:14.20) in NR up to 49 on July 11 at $7. Capable of a lot more.

Began his campaign last start running was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at Charlton, beaten 30 m by Optimal (1:57.40) in 0-3 WINS on July 7 at $71. Needs to do more. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was eighth after being driven well back, behind Up And About at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 44 to 49 on July 23 at $16. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m after racing wide at Charlton was leading by 0.4 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Optimal (1:57.40) in 0-3 WINS on July 7 at $34. No surprise if he turned things around.
