She then raced at Werribee and faded late. Resuming from a spell, she may have strengthened and could lead or race on the pace. If she can harness that early speed and hold on, she is capable of surprising.

The Lady Venus is a consistent maiden mare who has found the front three times in her last four starts. She maps well from barrier 3 and can sit on pace. The step up to 1400m suits her racing pattern. She should be in the finish again.

If he runs to that Swan Hill level he can pinch a place or even the win.

Our price $3.00 · SP $7.50 · Connor Murtagh

Winning All Round has only three starts but has finished second twice and third once, showing clear improvement. The addition of winkers and a moderate-fast tempo should suit his strong finishing kick. He is the most likely winner on form despite the extended trip.

Two Stroke Baby profiles as the best value among the deeper picks. She ran on well for third at Horsham while giving Durham a scare, and draws ideally in barrier 2. Her breeding suggests the 2000m will suit, and she is third-up after a spell.

Shogun Express drops to BM56 after a fair first-up 5th in BM62. Second-up from a spell, the Patrick Payne-trained gelding should strip fitter. He has a win over 2250m with 69kg and has placed at Mildura over 2000m. Likely leader in a moderate tempo, he can control this from the front despite barrier 10. The 400m straight at Mildura suits his staying style, and the class drop is significant.

Final Quarter has strong course and distance credentials, having placed at Mildura over 2000m previously. She ran a solid 4th at Horsham last start over 1800m and drops in weight to 54kg. While win strike rate is low, she is consistent and rates well against this BM56 field.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.50 · Harry Grace

Fleurieu Flipper found form last start with a close 3rd at Strathalbyn in Rest56 company. He drops further in class today to BM56 and carries just 54.5kg. Although he is an 8-year-old, his recent effort suggests he is ready to strike. The wide barrier (11) is a concern, but jockey Harry Grace has been riding well.

Tatsu is the consistent type who rarely runs poorly, with eight minor placings from his last ten starts. He drops from BM66 to BM56, which is a clear class advantage. However, the 1000m trip is a major query as all his recent runs have been 1170-1500m, and he has no wins at the distance. From barrier 8 he may need to work early to lead, and the 61.5kg top weight is taxing. He can place but the win is less certain.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.50 · Logan McNeil

Boltonova is a class dropper who has won at Mildura before, but his recent form is dreadful—two SA runs where he finished well back. However, those runs were in higher grades (BM62, Rest 64) and on Soft tracks. Back on Good 4 and dropping to BM56 is a major positive.

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.00 · Liana Wood

Noble Style has a remarkable 3-from-3 first-up record and drops sharply from BM70 company to BM56, carrying just 56.5kg. She is expected to lead in a fast-run race, which should suit at Mildura with its inside bias. The main query is the long layoff (237 days), but her fresh performance history provides strong confidence.

His second-up record provides some hope of improvement.

Our price $8.00 · SP $14.00 · Sarah Field

Sakasu is a course specialist with a stellar record at Mildura, including a win and two seconds in three attempts over 1400m. He draws barrier 2 which aligns with the inside bias. While his recent form is mixed, he has the class and track knowledge to bounce back.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Brooke King

Shal Exceed is a proven Mildura specialist with two wins and two placings from five starts over 1400m at this venue. He drops back to BM56 after competitive runs in higher grades, including a 3rd at Swan Hill. Drawn barrier 3, he gets a perfect inside run.
