Mildura Race 5 - Club Merbein Pace
WINSHEMAY (9) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 2190m at this track. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Sure to be right there at the finish. BAZZAS LEGACY (4) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2190m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can grab that well-deserved win. FLAME BLASTER (6) is better than his last-start tenth over 1790m at this track. KEAYANG SHADOWBOX (8) disappointed last time when ninth over 1790m at this track. Can make amends.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Talknplay at Swan Hill over 1750m on October 30 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Stonebridge Star at this track over 1790m on November 6 at $3.20. Sure to be thereabouts.

Last start 5th (Fr1) over 1790m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-5.5 beaten 8 m by Sneaky Philtra (2:12.40) on November 6 at $34. Two runs back was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1790m at this track, at the bell was 7th-17.6 beaten 6 m by Fleur Bella (2:13.70) on October 20 at $19. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1790m at this track, beaten 70 m by Sneaky Philtra (2:12.40) on November 6 at $34. At the start before surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr5) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 23 m by Bettorbust (2:44.00) on October 20 at $14. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
