Mildura Race 7 - Club Merbein Pace
MIDNIGHT PIRATE (5) settled close to the pace and kept finding to return to the winners' list last start over 2190m at this track, getting there by 6 metres. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. OHSO KINKY (1) recorded her second win from the past three outings last start when she found the lead and did well to go on and score by 1.3 metres at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. Stepping up a level this time but she is good enough to take this out. CLARENDEN CRUISER (6) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a nose at Globe Derby Park over 1800m. OH SWEET CREATURE (10) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fourth here over 1790m. Can earn a cheque.

Two back was eighth after showing early speed, behind Eye See Philtra at this track over 1790m in a NR 56 to 64 on April 22 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Lou Will at Swan Hill over 2240m in a NR 50 to 55 on April 27 at $34. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.
