Mildura tips and results

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Sarah Field

Pinero has shown ability with a 2nd placing two starts back at Kerang over 1100m. The step up to 1400m is a query but her running style suggests she'll handle it. The addition of blinkers for the first time could sharpen her up, and she gets in with a light weight from a good barrier. The gear changes (blinkers on, tongue tie on, winkers off) indicate connections are trying to find improvement.

Our price $12.00 · SP $31.00 · Connor Murtagh

Redneck Woman comes off a solid 3rd placing just 6 days ago at Horsham over 1200m. The quick backup suggests she's come through that run well, and her form has been consistent without winning. While unproven at 1400m, her racing pattern suggests the extra distance won't be an issue.

The significant class drop to a maiden is a major positive, and she'll appreciate the good barrier draw.

Our price $7.00 · SP $21.00 · Nathan Punch

Trainer Nathan Hobson has a strong record with maidens at country tracks, and the gear application suggests a professional approach to her debut. The lack of exposed form makes her somewhat speculative, but the potential upside justifies the value selection.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.00 · Neil Farley

Filly who has been racing consistently without winning. Her fifth placing last start over 1620m was solid, and she has experience at similar distances with a run over 2000m previously. Gets a 2kg weight advantage as a filly and should be suited by the likely moderate-fast tempo. Will be running on late.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.60 · Sairyn Fawke

Fiorente Spritz brings solid form from a higher class race at Morphettville where she ran 5th. The drop back to country class should suit, and she has a win at this distance. The removal of the compression hood and ear muffs suggests connections expect improvement. From barrier 7, she should settle midfield and be running on strongly.

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Neil Farley

While unproven at 2000m, her racing pattern suggests the distance should suit, and she has shown ability at Mildura previously.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.90 · Logan McNeil

The Wayfarer brings strong distance credentials (5-4-6 from 34 starts) and consistent recent form including a close 2nd two starts back. Likely to be on speed in a race with fast tempo, which suits his running style. The slight class drop is advantageous, and his record on Good tracks is solid. Top weight is a concern but offset by his experience and consistency.

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.50 · Sairyn Fawke

Sabermetric brings consistent form with multiple recent placings and a solid record at this distance (1-2-1 from 11 starts). Well-weighted with 57.5kg and should get a good run from barrier 7. The quick back-up from his last run 11 days ago is the main concern, but his consistency makes him a strong contender.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Alysha Warren

First Division draws the perfect barrier 1 and gets significant weight relief with just 52kg. Her record at this distance is solid (2-3-3 from 23 starts) and she's placed at this track before. The class rise is a concern, but the weight advantage and perfect draw compensate for this.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Connor Murtagh

Her record at the distance is encouraging and she's had recent racing to maintain fitness. While she faces a slight class rise, her versatility and improving form suggest she can be competitive in this field. The good barrier should allow her to secure a favorable position.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Jackie Beriman

Jessup is an experienced campaigner who should be prominent in the early stages. While the wide barrier is a concern, his early speed should allow him to cross and find a position. The removal of blinkers is interesting and may help him settle better. If he can dictate terms, he could prove hard to run down.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Alysha Warren

The gelding gets significant weight relief, a good barrier, and the addition of blinkers for the first time could spark improvement. His previous success at Mildura is a positive, and the Nathan Hobson stable knows how to prepare horses for this track.
