Mildura Race 6

Club Merbein Pace

Prize Money: $9,000

OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH (6) ran second last start at this track over 1790m, beaten only 4 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. IDYLLIC (7) finished fifth last start, beaten 13 metres at Globe Derby Park over 2230m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. MY ULTIMATE LEVI (3) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third here over 1790m. Genuine threat. CLYMENUS (5) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1790m at this circuit on December 11. One for the exotics players.

Two back was seventh behind Ideal Escape at this track over 2190m in a NR 65 on November 22 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Powersofpersuasion at this track over 1790m in a NR 65 on December 11 at $21. Nice effort last time. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr1) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track beaten 50 m by Powersofpersuasion (2:08.60) in NR 65 on December 11 at $41. Before that 7th (Sr1) over 1790m at this track beaten 16 m by Powersofpersuasion (2:08.30) in NR 65 on November 29 at $21. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-6.4 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Powersofpersuasion (2:08.60) in NR 65 on December 11 at $21. At the start before 7th (Sr1) over 1650m at Bendigo was 6th-8.07 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Twisted Bliss (1:58.50) in NR 60 to 74 on December 4 at $9.50. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a much better run.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing seventh after being driven well back, behind Act Now at Melton over 1720m in a No NR on December 7 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Powersofpersuasion at this track over 1790m in a NR 65 on December 11 at $2.80. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Six-year-old entire who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 5th (Fr5) over 2230m after showing early speed at Globe Derby Park beaten 13 m by Maharajah (2:42.80) in No NR on December 7 at $8. Certainly worth another chance.
