Mildura Race 5 - Park Douglas Printing Pace
THE GOLDEN HOOK (7) settled close to the pace then assumed control and kept finding to return to the winners' list last start over 2190m at this track, getting there by 3 metres. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Won't find this any harder and he can add to his recent outstanding results. FOXY TWO GLOVES (4) is a talented mare first up from a break of seven months who generally comes to hand quickly. Scored a fine win over 1790m at this track to launch her last preparation. Will be ready to run a big race. MIDNIGHT PIRATE (5) should be at his peak for this. Finished second over 2190m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. LISTEN TO THE HAND (3) is worth some thought based on his victory over 1609m at Gawler two runs ago.

Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr5) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track, well beaten by Luvtobeuptome (2:39.40) in 3yo on September 27 at $21. Showed ability the run before when he won by 3.5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Gawler (1:59.40) beating Normy in on September 14 at $1.35 at the bell was leading 4.7. Capable of more than he has shown recently. No surprise if he turned things around.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Royal Saxon at this track over 2190m on September 27 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after a quick start, behind The Golden Hook at this track over 2190m on October 6 at $12. Top chance in this line-up.

Sure to improve on the latest effort.

Last start 9th (Sr4) over 2190m at this track beaten 30 m by The Golden Hook (2:41.50) on October 6 at $41. Before that, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Fr1) over 1790m at this track was 5th-10.4 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Neatntidy (2:12.20) on September 27 at $19. Likely improver who is worth including.
