Mildura Race 5 - Zilzie Wines Pace Final
IM ALRIGHT JACK (3) delivered as a hot favourite in this grade last start, leading and drawing clear to score by 12.6m at this circuit and distance. Draws to go forward again so can back that up. ROBERT CROCKA (6) continued his consistent form at this venue when he led and kept and finding last time, his third straight placing since winning over this distance. Major player despite a wider draw. HESASTAR (1) drew on the back row and worked when caught wide but fought well for second at this circuit and distance last start. The ace draw gives him the chance to go one better. ORATOR (2) comes off a win at this venue and distance and should not have any excuses from another favourable draw.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr4) over 1790m after being wide early at this track was 2nd-2.6 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Orator (2:12.20) in NR up to 45 on January 23 at $4.20. From the inside draw is expected to measure up.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Lochinvar Ruler at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a NR up to 41 on January 17 at $16. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Im Alright Jack at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 45 on January 23 at $5.50. Among the hopes.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Miki Mark at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on December 30 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Orator at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 45 on January 23 at $2.30. Can maintain the strong form.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well beaten after breaking at this track on January 23. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 1790m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 2.4 beaten 14 m by Sunshine Warrior (2:13.00) in NR up to 39 on December 26 at $4.50. This looks tough.
