RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: HOT DEAL (3) boasts an exceptional record at Mildura having won ten races and he was very sharp at his first up victory over Ultimate Vinnie at Horsham where he finished swiftly from midfield in a mile rate of 1.55.1. He is versatile and should be fitter so he will prove hard to beat again. TOUGH AINT ENOUGH (2) began quickly to find the lead, copped pressure mid-race and kicked on strongly to win in a sizzling mile rate of 1.53.6 at Swan Hill last week. He is drawn to lead again and will take tossing. POWEROFPERSUASION (1) worked hard early then gained a trail mid-race and finished third behind Royal Appointment at Mildura last week. He is a good chance of trailing the leader from the pole position and should go well again. DON LOU (6) was racing in good company in Queensland, FORTY LOVE (7) was placed in the Mildura Cup three starts ago and MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (8) won many races at Mildura last season so it is a quality event.
