Mildura Race 7 - Striking Sally Pace
CAPTAIN PAPRIKA (6) settled handy then found the lead only to weaken in the straight and finish fourth last start over 2190m at this track, the second miss in a row after winning at this track three runs back. Has the talent to find the winners' list. THE LADYBIRD NZ (3) turned in a poor effort by her standards most recently when 13 metres away in seventh over 1690m at Shepparton. Form prior to that had been solid. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. DAYLIGHT (8) can secure a cosy run early on, an he is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1790m at this track last time out. PUNTO CALIENTE (5) is worth some thought despite his last-start seventh over 1790m at this track on July 31. Include in all top 4 combos at a decent price.

Last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track was leading by 6.8 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Sneaky Philtra (2:13.70) on July 31 at $12. Two runs back was driven from back in the field 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. Has a good draw, and she is not the worst at odds.

Last start 10th (Sr1) over 1790m at this track, beaten 40 m by Sneaky Philtra (2:13.70) on July 31 at $14. At his previous start 7th (Sr4) over 2190m at this track beaten 35 m by Sneaky Philtra (2:45.60) on July 17 at $26. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Certainly up to this and he is a top 4 player.
