Swan Hill Race 3 - Vhrc / Benstud Pace
CELESTIAL DAYBREAK (6) scored at his most recent outing by 3 metres in a far better performance at Mildura over 1790m. Meets a comparable field, so he is capable of taking this out. RONZEL MICKY (7) continued her impressive run of recent efforts last start when runner-up over 1790m at Mildura, beaten 3 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a comparable field so she is capable of continuing her fine form. MARKLEIGH CAZ (8) must be considered after she finished third over 1609m at Charlton four days ago. Each way value. NEVS DREAM (9) will secure a cosy run early on and is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1755m at Echuca on April 20.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind The Democrat at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 39 on April 14 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Muselet at Charlton over 2100m in a NR up to 39 on April 23 at $23. Hard to beat.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 1790m at Mildura was 6th-11.9m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 17 m by Mariahs Shadow (2:13.90) in NR up to 45 on April 22 at $26. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Mildura (2:13.40) beating Wyattflynn in NR up to 45 on April 16 at $6 at the bell was leading 4.4. Solid top-three prospects.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Love To Deal at Mildura over 1790m in a NR up to 45 on April 16 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Celestial Daybreak at Mildura over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on April 22 at $11. Nice effort last time. Sure to be there at the business end.
