RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: LILSTREPO (5) drew on the second line, was shuffled back on the markers mid-race and was held up for a run at a vital stage when an unlucky fourth at Bendigo behind the undefeated pacer Keayang Renegade in a mile rate of 1.52.7 last week. She is undefeated in three starts at Mildura and is clearly the horse to beat again. ROYAL APPOINTMENT (8) also competed in the race won by Keayang Renegade at Bendigo and didn’t have a great deal of room in the straight. He missed out at his only attempt at Mildura previously but he is a very fast pacer and will take holding out in the run to the finish. RIO ROCK (7) performed nicely at the trials then followed with a handy finishing third behind Cemetery Bay in the open class event last week. Her last run was encouraging and she rates as a knockout chance. KEAYANG MOROCCAN (6) and CAULONIA TERROR (9) are both worth thought in multiple combinations. BACK: LILSTREPO (5) – 2 units (win)
