It's Mildura Cup week! Ryan Phelan has done a deep dive on Tuesday night's 8-race card.
R1 – 6:07pm – H.B.F Fabrications Pace (Heat) - 2190m
9 – Don Arthur
3 – Hes Olly
1 – Ultimate Rocker
4 – United
R2 – 6:32pm – Park Douglas Printing Pace – 1790m

8 – Good Boots Bindi
4 – Bettorpatchmeup
9 – Starvin Marvin
R3 – 7:00pm – Mallee Stockfeeds Deliver Pace – 2190m
1 – Glitzy All Over
3 – Orama
7 – Rays Daughter
6 – Lord Verde
Glitzy All Over finally lands a favourable barrier and map, setting the stage for a return to the winner's list. Orama looks the likely leader, giving her the perfect tow into the race. She ran third to that mare two starts ago from the outside of the back row, this improved setup is a major advantage.
BACK: 1 Glitzy All Over – 1 Unit (win)
R4 – 7:34pm – Laser Signs & Print Pace – 2190m
8 – Partyatthebeach
6 – Dark Sands
7 – Robert Crocka
10 – Hes A Modern Boy
R5 – 8:08pm – Barry Bottams Mildura Pacing Cup (1st Heat) – 2190m
10 – Dee Roe
3 – Catchafire
9 – Young Bluey
2 – Credulous
Dee Roe brings strong form credentials, making him a serious contender here. He scored an impressive win in the Hamilton Cup back in January, beating Young Bluey, and has maintained top form since - even tackling elite competition in Sydney. While the back-row draw presents a challenge, he’s overcome similar obstacles before, adding to his appeal.
BACK: 10 Dee Roe – 3 Units (win)
R6 – 8:42pm – Barry Bottams Mildura Pacing Cup (2nd Heat) – 2190m
9 – Catalpa Rescue
3 – Crime Writer
1 – Joe Got Rolled
7 – Abouttime
Catalpa Rescue has returned this campaign in career-best form, delivering four ultra-impressive performances. His last-start victory in the Charlton Cup came against a stronger field than he meets here. Despite the back-row draw, he’s a tough, versatile runner who can do the work and reel off strong times - his class should prove the difference.
BACK: 9 Catalpa Rescue – 5 Units (win)
R7 – 9:16pm – Club Merbein Pace (1st Heat) – 1790m
8 – Tough Aint Enough
7 – Spirit Of Sahara
1 – Letsgo Big Girl
9 – Cee Cee In America
R8 – 9:50pm – Club Merbein Pace (2nd Heat) – 1790m
3 – Foxy Two Gloves
9 – Always The Showman
4 – Terror The Christian
7 – Over The Odds
Foxy Two Gloves arrives off two unflattering runs, but both came after tough back-row trips. Three starts ago, she led comfortably from a similar draw and dominated in fast time. She showed plenty of talent as a three-year-old, suggesting there’s more under the hood - well worth another chance.
BACK: 3 Foxy Two Gloves – 1 Unit (win)
