Mildura Race 2

Club Merbein Pace

Prize Money: $8,000

LAST TANGO IN HEAVEN NZ (4) finished third last start, beaten 12 metres at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. Good enough to take out a race like this. DALLAS MIKI (5) finished seventh last start over 1790m at this track, beaten 10 metres, after a modest eighth at Melton the run prior. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to play a role in the finish. TOUGH AINT ENOUGH (7) scored last start over 1790m at this circuit. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role again. BIZZNESS CLASS (1) disappointed last time when eighth over 1790m at this venue. Can bounce back from the coveted pegs draw.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track beaten 35 m by Prioritise (2:41.00) on June 5 at $101. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 1790m at this track was 5th-8.4 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Powersofpersuasion (2:09.60) on May 29 at $17. Others appear better placed.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1800m after racing wide at Globe Derby Park was 6th-12.4 at the bell, beaten 12 m by All Da Rage (2:10.60) on May 23 at $10. Looks very hard to beat.

Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 4.5 m win (Sr1) at this track (2:10.00) beating Letsgo Big Girl in on June 12 at $9 at the bell was 7th-9. In form and sure to prove very hard to beat.
