Mildura Race 6

Barry Bottams Memorial Mildura Pacing Cup Final (Listed Classic)

Prize Money: $30,000

DEE ROE (12) made it two wins on the trot last start when he won a much easier race than this over 2190m at this track, getting home by 3.5 metres. Another win is on the cards. CATCHAFIRE (3) is looking for black-type success after suffering a defeat last time out a much weaker race over 2190m here arriving 3.5 metres behind the winner. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks a genuine contender again. CATALPA RESCUE (11) is looking for black-type success after suffering a defeat last time out a much weaker race over 2190m at this circuit, arriving 6 metres behind the winner. Better than the last run suggests and is harder to beat this time. YOUNG BLUEY (10) is also in contention although the draw makes his job a bit tougher. Something for the Multiples: CATCHAFIRE NZ (3)

13-year-old gelding showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 3rd (Sr2) over 2190m at this track was 7th-11.4m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 3 m by Joe Got Rolled (2:40.40) in No NR on April 1 at $101. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Delightfull Tammy at Gawler over 2550m in a No NR on March 24 at $61. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

Last start game effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 2190m at this track was 3rd-4.3m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 3.5 m by Dee Roe (2:46.40) in No NR on April 1 at $3.60. Two runs back was well back before the turn; won by 1.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Mt Gambier (2:40.10) beating Crime Writer in No NR on March 15 at $1.90 at the bell was 5th-10.6. Among the leading chances and can overcome the tricky draw.

Backs up 3 days after failing to impress last start; 5th (Sr3) over 2190m at this track was 5th-8.5m 3WNC at the bell, beaten 6 m by Joe Got Rolled (2:40.40) in No NR on April 1 at $1.10. Showed ability the race before when he won by 5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Charlton (3:06.90) beating Dangerous in LR No NR on March 16 at $2.20 at the bell was 2nd-3.8m on the pegs. Serious player on best form.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Swan Hill. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite (Sr4) at this track (2:46.40) beating Catchafire in No NR on April 1 at $2.10 at the bell was leading 3.6m on the pegs. Worth following up.
