Mildura Race 2 - Happy Birthday Sandra Arnold Pace
AVOCA BLUES (8) is racing well with eight top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 1790m. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Primary contender in a similar race. WATCH THE ATTITUDE (6) was in the money at this track three runs ago then missed the placings before bouncing back last time, making up plenty of ground but finding one better over 1790m at this track. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. LOUIEVILLE (3) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 1790m at this track eight weeks ago. EYE SEE PHILTRA (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1800m at Globe Derby Park on August 18.

Didn't do much at the last run, surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track beaten 40 m by Tough Aint Enough (2:07.70) in NR 56 to 64 on August 22 at $81. Before that 10th (Sr2) over 1790m at this track, beaten 23 m by Avoca Blues (2:12.60) in NR up to 55 on August 8 at $51. Unlikely to threaten.
