Mildura Race 3 - Club Merbein Pace
ZANY GIRL (5) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 2190m at this track. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. FOXY TWO GLOVES (8) finished sixth last start over 2190m here, beaten 30 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1790m at this venue. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Won't find this any harder and she can give this a mighty shake. CHEERS POVERTY (7) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten 1.4 metres into second at Charlton. No reason why he cannot take this out. WATCHTHECLOCK (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 9 metres at this course over 2190m.

Last start 9th (Fr4) over 1790m at this track, beaten 40 m by Our Art Work (2:08.30) in NR up to 59 on March 10 at $126. Two runs back 9th (Sr2) over 1790m at this track beaten 30 m by Eastbro Jesse (2:11.40) in NR 50 to 55 on January 29 2025 at $17. Strips fitter now and expect a better performance this time.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Sr5) over 2190m at this track beaten 60 m by Wicked Confession (2:39.50) in NR 45 to 50 on February 25 at $34. Before that was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr4) over 1790m at this track, at the bell was 4th-7.6 beaten 7 m by Avoca Blues (2:11.80) in NR 50 to 55 on February 18 at $61. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Two back was third behind Wicked Confession at this track over 2190m in a NR 45 to 50 on February 25 at $41. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Indianas Son at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 46 on March 10 at $5.50. Among the top chances on recent form.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 30 m by Good Boots Bindi (2:40.90) in NR 57 to 66 on March 10 at $4. Showed ability the outing before when she posted a big 6 m win (Sr3) at this track (2:10.30) beating Good Boots Bindi in NR 50 to 64 on February 25 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 1.4. Rates highly. In the mix if on-song.
