Mildura Race 7 - Club Merbein Pace
STARVIN MARVIN NZ (4) had been building to a win and it arrived at his latest appearance when he scored over 2190m at this track, getting home by 1.4 metres after leading. Primary contender in this comparable race. CARLISLE CRUISER (9) has had two runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished fourth over 2190m at this track, beaten 10 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. CAULONIA TERROR (3) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1790m at this track. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (7) must be respected after scoring last start by a head at this track over 2190m.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Kyoretsu at this track over 1790m on July 31 at $34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Don Crunch at this track over 1790m on August 7 at $8. Leading contender again.
