Mildura Race 5 - Park Douglas Printing Pace
HEZ SO ROYAL (7) is a talented gelding first up from a break of six months who generally comes to hand quickly and is yet to taste defeat when resuming. Scored a fine win over 1800m at Globe Derby Park to kick off last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal in this most suitable assignment. MANINKY MOONSHINE (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Cranbourne. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. NEVS DREAM (6) is the next best after finishing third over 1790m at this track last time out. Top-three contender. OUR ART WORK (3) ended last prep with a seventh here over 2190m ten weeks ago. Can open this campaign with a much more positive effort.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up came home strongly from last on the turn and posted a big 7 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Globe Derby Park (2:15.90) beating Carramar Sanchez in on August 5 at $2.90. Expected to be in the finish while fresh.
