Mildura Race 5 - Mallee Stockfeeds Pace
PUNTO CALIENTE (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth at this venue. Draws wider but placed in two of his previous three outings here. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. GRENADE (4) hasn't had a lot of luck from the second line of late so may enjoy this barrier more and owns a decent record at this circuit and distance. KEAYANG CRIPPA (6) might find this easier than recent attempts and recorded back-to-back placings here earlier in the campaign so is on the radar. RONZEL SONNY (7) has been racing in SA of late but came from this row to win here in November.
