Mildura Race 8 - Jill Mcginty Service To Mildura Trots Award Maiden Pace
RED ROBBER (4) stepped out for a new yard last start and went very close when second, beaten a neck. That was his first visit to this venue and while he draws a few spots wider he looks well placed to go one better. THE NINJA (2) was about the mark yet again last start when he led and battled on well but found a couple better at this circuit and distance. No excuses from this advantageous draw so could take care of this line-up. BAZZAS LEGACY (3) showed big improvement in his second outing last start. Came from the back row there so can progress further from a better draw. BRIEISBETTER (1) could be competitive from the ace draw.

Last start 6th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track was 5th-8.6 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Colman Sign (2:49.90) in MAIDEN on January 23 at $14. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 1790m at this track, beaten 25 m by Shes Magical (2:13.00) in MAIDEN on December 26 at $41. Gets the ace draw and is likely to be involved in the finish.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Lord Myrmecia at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a MAIDEN on January 19 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Colman Sign at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on January 23 at $6.50. Close to a win and gets his chance from a good draw.

Has struggled of late. Last start 5th (Sr2) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 6th-13.8 beaten 6 m by Colman Sign (2:49.90) in MAIDEN on January 23 at $34. The run previous 8th (Fr5) over 1790m at this track beaten 70 m by Shes Magical (2:13.00) in MAIDEN on December 26 at $11. Worth another chance. Draws well and is open to improvement.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Blackjack Whacko at Maryborough over 2190m in a 3yo MAIDEN CG on December 23 at $101. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Colman Sign at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on January 23 at $1.22. Can go one better.
