Mildura Race 5 - Zilzie Wines Supports Teal Maiden Pace
THE NINJA (2) has been racing well and has the hoof on the till after placing in his last three starts including a third from this barrier most recently at this venue. Should enjoy an economical run. Can break through. A poor start proved costly for SWEET MARION (8) last time but she did a good job for a 3m third at Charlton prior. Worth another chance. BRIEISBETTER (5) draws wider but produced a good effort last time out when runner-up, her third placing from his last four attempts here. ELISSAS DELIGHT (4) may appreciate returning to the row after a fourth from the back line last week.

Good performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Colman Sign at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on January 23 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Bazzas Legacy at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on February 4 at $2.70. A good draw could see him break through.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1780m at Mt Gambier well beaten by Eastbro Mika (2:13.20) in MAIDEN on December 16 at $51. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 1780m at Mt Gambier beaten 40 m by Western Dragon (2:15.10) in MAIDEN on December 2 at $34. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 2190m after being wide early at this track beaten 55 m by Bazzas Legacy (2:44.20) in MAIDEN on February 4 at $51. Two runs back 8th (Fr5) over 1790m after showing early pace at this track beaten 30 m by Orator (2:12.20) in NR up to 45 on January 23 at $101. Needs to do more. Wait until the form picks up.
