Mildura Race 8 - Mildura Lawn Bowls Carnival In May Pace
CHALKNCHEDDAR (2) settled handy but couldn't finish the race off and could only manage third last start over 1750m at Swan Hill, that effort coming after a win at Horsham the run before. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ROBERT CROCKA (3) was responsible for a far better performance last start when he scored by 3 metres over 1790m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it consecutive wins. CRUZ WITH ROME (7) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1790m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. KEAYANG CRIPPA (1) found a couple better two runs back then things went sour last time when he broke and finished 8 metres back in fifth over 2190m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is able to make amends.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Shes Poppy at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on December 10 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Lombok at Swan Hill over 1750m in a NR 50 to 55 on December 16 at $8.50. Capable of taking this out.
