Mildura Race 4 - Club Merbein Pace
PLAYNICE (6) ran third last start at this track over 2190m, beaten 5 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can get the job done. PUNTO CALIENTE (8) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when runner-up over 2190m here, beaten a neck after giving away a big start with a sustained run. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. GRENADE (9) is on the radar after his last-start fifth over 2190m at this circuit a week ago. SNEAKY PHILTRA (2) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.

Last start 7th (Fr4) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track beaten 55 m by Cheers Poverty (2:43.80) in NR up to 49 on August 1 at $16. At his previous start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track beaten 17 m by Cheers Poverty (2:46.10) in NR up to 49 on July 18 at $7.50. This looks a more suitable assignment.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing seventh behind Yankee Gambler at Melton over 1720m in a NR 37 to 42 on July 4 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Cheers Poverty at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on August 1 at $1.75. With even luck is a winning chance.
