Mildura Race 4 - The Butcher Mildura Pace
WHITEHAVEN BEACH (7) scored at this track three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1790m at this track, beaten 1.3 metres. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Good enough to take out a race like this. APOLOGY ACCEPTED (4) ran fourth last start at Swan Hill over 2240m, beaten 14 metres. Expected to run well. CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1790m at this track. ROJENBYE (1) could only finish seventh over 2240m at Swan Hill most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 0.6 beaten 10 m by Just Incredible (2:14.20) on July 17 at $5. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3.5 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (2:44.30) beating Apology Accepted in on July 10 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 0.2. Capable of taking this out.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth behind Calf Pen at this track over 1790m on July 10 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Ronzel Micky at this track over 1790m on July 17 at $4. Best efforts should see him go well again.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following July 3 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Port Pirie (2:) beating Major Apdal in on July 15 at $2.10. This race will be harder than that win. Found a few ahead of him.
