Mildura Race 2 - Zilzie Wines Maiden Pace
BETTORBUST (1) faces the starter for the first time. By Bettors Wish and hails from the Alex Ashwood stable. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Was not far away in a recent trial so anticipating a bright start to his career. HIGHWAY HUSTLER (3) is also stepping out for the first time. By Vincent and hails from the M J Maguire stable. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has strong trial form coming into this and is sure to prove very hard to beat. POSTER ART (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 2190m. Genuine threat. SOHO AMARYLLIS (2) ended last prep with a fifth at Bendigo over 1650m six months ago. Draws low and is capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Three-year-old filly by Vincent out of Alongthehighway on debut. Showed ability when she won at Gawler in a trial on January 21 2025 over 1609m. Trialling well and should be kept very safe.

Two back was fourth behind Priddy Carson at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on March 27 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Don Crunch at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on April 17 at $8. Very hard to beat.
