WINTON'S MIDDLE PUB MOBILE PACE 2400m

Track: GOOD      

MALLORY MAGUIRE (6) resumes after finishing sixth at her latest appearance at Roxburgh on January 4 2024. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. ARISTA (5) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2400m at this track, finishing second and just 1.1 metres from the winner. Meets a similar line up and he is a strong winning hope. SURE TO RISE (3) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this circuit. Top-three aspirations. HIGH RETURN (1) is a two-year-old gelding by Bettor's Delight from The Highlight on debut. No excuses from this advantageous draw and any push in betting will add to the confidence.

Two back was second behind Mandala at Ascot Park Raceway over 1700m on April 24 at $8. Then a handy effort when second behind Abull at this track over 2400m in a 3yo+ on May 4 at $8.40. Overdue and looks hard to beat again.
