Mildura Race 8 - Best Since Grecianaire Pace
SNEAKY PHILTRA (8) worked to find the lead but couldn't keep going and finished second last start over 2240m at Swan Hill, that effort coming after a nice win at this track the run prior. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. PUNTO CALIENTE (3) is in good form at present. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 2240m at Swan Hill, beaten 4 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab that well-deserved win. DAYLIGHT (10) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 19 metres at this track over 2190m. BURNING HOT (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 1609m at Port Pirie last time out.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at Port Pirie, beaten 11 m by Upright (1:58.50) on July 15 at $21. At his previous start 10th (Sr4) over 1790m at this track, beaten 65 m by Sunshine Warrior (2:14.70) on July 3 at $41. Fitter now and looks tough to beat from the pegs.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2240m at Swan Hill, at the bell was 6th-8.8 beaten 4 m by Mynameisruby (2:49.50) on July 24 at $8. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr4) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 8th-12.9 beaten 19 m by Daylight (2:45.90) on July 17 at $6. Will be right in the thick of things.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr2) over 2240m at Swan Hill was 7th-9.6 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Mynameisruby (2:49.50) on July 24 at $21. Before that 8th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 40 m by Daylight (2:45.90) on July 17 at $101. This looks far too tough.
