Mildura Race 1 - Mcdonalds Irymple & Mildura Pace
MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (4) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 7 metres into sixth at Charlton over 2100m. Has the ability to take care of this field. ALL DA RAGE (8) resumes here after closing his last prep with a sixth at Stawell on December 1. Expecting a very good run. CEMETERY BAY (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1790m at this track last time out. RIO ROCK (7) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fifth at this track over 1790m. A cosy run through early will help him.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Fr5) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track beaten 45 m by Ultimate Rocker (2:12.60) in NR 56 to 64 on March 3 at $34. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 8th (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 22 m by Ozzie Daybreak (2:45.50) in NR 50 to 55 on February 26 at $9. This looks a far sterner test.

Didn't do much last time out, 11th (Sr2) over 2100m at Charlton, well beaten by Lochiel Lad (2:35.50) in 0W/15 0K stake on March 16 at $81. Before that 6th (Sr1) over 2195m at Ararat, beaten 20 m by Pesci (2:39.20) in 0W/15 0K stake on February 28 at $51. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Sr5) over 2100m at Charlton was 9th-16.8m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 7 m by Lochiel Lad (2:35.50) in 0W/15 0K stake on March 16 at $6. The run before 5th (Sr4) over 2180m at Stawell, at the bell was 7th-12m 3WNC beaten 10 m by Sometuffluv (2:42.80) in 0W/15 0K stake on February 19 at $7.50. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1790m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, at the bell was 6th-11.6 beaten 12 m by I Bet You (2:10.00) in NR 65 or better on March 21 at $10. Showed ability the outing before when she posted a big 5.5 m win (Sr4) at this track (2:39.90) beating Keayang Moroccan in NR 65 or better on March 14 at $15 at the bell was 7th-12.5m on the pegs. Forward performance expected.
