Mildura Race 4

Charlton Cup March 15 Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

MY ULTIMATE JIMMY NZ (6) made a winning return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 metres over 1790m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can salute once again. HOT DEAL (2) ran fifth last start at Melton over 2240m, beaten 12 metres. Expected to run well. TOUGH AINT ENOUGH (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this track when having a tough run as the favourite after sitting outside the leader for the entire trip. Can atone. SANTA CASA BEACH (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 2190m after leading at the bell.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Dhaulagiri at this track over 2190m in a NR 65 or better on February 18 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind My Ultimate Jimmy at this track over 1790m in a NR 62 to 75 on February 25 at $2. Ready to win.
