Mildura Race 4 - Luke Dunne Leading Concession Driver 2025 Pace
ROYAL SAXON (3) led from this barrier and scored two starts back at Gawler then could not have been more impressive last start to win by 17 metres at this circuit and distance. Draws to push forward again so is capable of landing the hat trick. ZAPPA (8) was good when third last start at Terang, beaten 3 metres. Draws on the back line this time but is going very well having only once missed a placing from the last six starts including a Bendigo win. OUR MASTER PLAY (6) hasn't been too far from the placegetters in two starts since winning here. He is on the radar again. WATCHTHECLOCK (1) should get every chance from the ace draw.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Gawler. Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 16 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (2:39.80) beating Cheers Poverty in NR 40 to 49 on January 23 at $2.15 at the bell was 2nd-2.8. Draws well and is likely to prove very hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Dallas Miki at Charlton over 2100m in a NR 50 to 55 on January 19 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Torque Power at Terang over 2180m in a NR 50 to 55 on January 26 at $34. Rates highly. Winning claims.
