Mildura horses tips & previews

Welcome to the Ausloans Mildura, a testing 1900m benchmark 62 test run over the Mildura turf. Looking at how punters have lined up the market for this event, Kikorangi leads the charge at the top of the win order. Right behind in the betting we find Callistemon sitting second, with Verona Rupes holding down the third spot in the market and Love Sparkles next in line. Rounding out the order of preference are Ring The Sheriff, Flight Deck, Miss Trombari, and Baby Rider all looking to make their presence felt in the yarn.

Digging into the form behind those shorter prices gives us a bit of a story to unpack for our punters. Kikorangi jumps from barrier 10 with Margaret Collett steering for trainer Ms H Lehmann, bringing plenty of interest to the table. Callistemon draws barrier 4 with Stacey Metcalfe taking the ride for Ms L Brander, adding another intriguing form line to the mix. Verona Rupes pops up from barrier 8 with Will Gordon booked for trainer Taige Weir, adding further depth to the leading chances in this Mildura assignment.

Looking a little deeper into the field for another angle, Ring The Sheriff holds down barrier 1 with Chelsea Taylor steering for Nathan Hobson, which could offer some tactical interest from the inside alley. Flight Deck also represents stablemate interests for Ms L Brander, stepping out from barrier 2 with Polly Brewster in the saddle. It is shaping up as a fascinating contest now that the gates have opened and the runners have settled into their work across this middle-distance test.
