Mildura Race 9 - Australian Pacing Gold Pace
BRUISED EGO (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 8 metres at Bendigo over 1650m. Rates a big chance in this comparable race. STYLISH GEM (9) ran eleventh last start at Melton over 2240m, beaten 30 metres. This is much easier and expect her to be prominent. FLYIN TOMMY (7) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go his way. CALF PEN (5) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1790m at this track a week ago. Can bounce back.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 21 m by Clarenden Sakura (2:13.40) in NR 41 to 46 GROUP on July 14 at $26. At the run before 7th (Fr3) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 30 m by Winston Alexander (2:14.20) in NR 47 to 54 on July 8 at $16. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Strips fitter and from the pegs gets her chance to impress.
