Mildura Race 3 - Park Douglas Printing Pace

FORTY LOVE (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2190m at this track, finishing third and just 1.2 metres from the winner. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. HOT DEAL (6) form has been hard to fault since returning from a spell. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2190m at this track, beaten 1.1 metres, on the back of a first-up win at Horsham. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. DON LOU (5) is hard to overlook after scoring first-up last start by 1.1 metres at this track over 2190m. MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (1) was not a factor last start but will be ready to peak third-up from a spell from a nice draw.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Oliver Dan at Melton over 2240m on June 6 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing third behind Don Lou at this track over 2190m on August 7 at $1.95. Hard to beat.
