Mildura Race 2 - The Butcher Mildura Maiden Pace
DON CRUNCH (7) finished 30 metres from the winner in third at this track over 2190m last start at his first career run. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Big chance in a similar assignment. BLISSFULL RED (1) has had four runs this prep without filling a placing. Added to the sequence last time over 1790m at this track, finishing 10 metres away from the winner in fourth. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Won't find this any harder and she can take care of this line-up. POSTER ART (4) was beaten 45 metres on debut last start over 2190m at this track. Has plenty of scope for improvement. CRUEL MISTRESS (5) could only finish eighth over 2190m at this track most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 1.6 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Xlendi Star (2:15.90) in MAIDEN on April 7 at $7.50. Before that, 9th (Sr1) over 1790m at this track beaten 30 m by Bite The Ear Mike (2:13.40) in MAIDEN on March 20 at $34. Fitter now and looks tough to beat from the pegs.

Four-year-old mare facing the starter for the second time. At debut 4th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 45 m by Priddy Carson (2:44.50) in MAIDEN on March 27 at $10. Likely improver.

Three-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut then went on to fill a minor placing over 2190m at this track last start. Sure to be there at the business end.

Resuming after a spell of two-and-a-half years. Ran only once last campaign running when well beaten into eighth behind Lina And Molly at this track over 1790m on February 6 2024 at $23. Best performances should see him go well.
