Mildura Race 2 - Zilzie Wines Pace (1St Heat)
JILLIBY TYPHOON (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 1650m at Bendigo. Good enough to take out a race like this. THEBUCKSONYOU (2) worked to find the lead and kept finding to salute last start over 1790m at this track, opening his account after some sound performances to date. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can go right on with the job. LE SPARTACUS (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1790m at this track. Can make amends, especially from the ace draw. CALF PEN (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 16 metres at this track over 2190m. Go again. Something for the Multiples: CALF PEN NZ (5)

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr3) over 1790m at this track beaten 20 m by Good Boots Bindi (2:10.60) in NR 50 to 55 on March 14 at $3.10. The run prior 5th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track, beaten 25 m by Frankntank (2:42.70) in NR 50 to 55 on March 7 at $5.50. Best form would see him in the finish.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Boulder City at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a NR 46 to 53 on March 22 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Two Way Wonder at Gawler over 2070m in a NR 46 to 51 on March 24 at $26. Can win with even luck.
