Mildura Race 8

Club Merbein Pace (2Nd Heat)

Prize Money: $6,000

LOSEASHOE (6) produced a far better performance when second up at his latest appearance, finishing third over 2190m at this track. Should be fitter again and is good enough to take out a race like this. CHEERS POVERTY (5) has had to work at his last couple of outings so it may pay to forgive those results and assess his chances off back-to-back placings prior. RONZEL MICKY (1) has been coming from wider or second line draws so is on the radar from the inside barrier. IM STUCK MAN (3) is worth some thought with the aid of a favourable draw.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr4) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track was 3rd-4 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Hooklineandsinker (2:11.00) in NR 52 to 56 on March 27 at $4.40. The start before 6th (Sr1) over 2190m at this track beaten 25 m by Dallas Miki (2:39.30) in NR 51 to 55 on March 20 at $4.60. Good enough to turn things around.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Our Art Work at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 59 on March 10 at $126. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Dallas Miki at this track over 2190m in a NR 51 to 55 on March 20 at $12. Chief contender.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Rocknroll Lenny at this track over 1790m in a 0-3 WINs on March 20 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Hooklineandsinker at this track over 1790m in a NR 52 to 56 on March 27 at $5.50. Should be right in the finish.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 1790m after racing wide at this track was 9th-13 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Hooklineandsinker (2:11.00) in NR 52 to 56 on March 27 at $34. Before that, surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr4) over 2190m at this track beaten 35 m by Dallas Miki (2:39.30) in NR 51 to 55 on March 20 at $11. Will give a good account.
