Mildura Race 3 - Club Merbein Pace
ROYAL SAXON (5) finished sixth last start over 1790m at this track, beaten 18 metres, after a good third at this track the run prior. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to take out a race like this. CALF PEN NZ (4) ran second last start at this track over 2190m, beaten 30 metres. Expect him to be prominent. WATCHTHECLOCK (1) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1790m at this track last time out. ROCKNROLL LENNY (6) is in the mix at his first run since finishing runner-up over 2190m at this track 11 weeks ago after having raced three-back on the fence at the bell.
