Mildura Race 7 - Club Merbein Supports Teal Pace
SHES MAGICAL (4) led and cruised home for a maiden win at this circuit and distance two back before drawing wide on the back row and covering ground when placed last week. A better draw gives her strong claims. THE DEVIL ROLLS ON (7) produced a very good effort last time at this venue, coming from this row for second and just a neck from the winner. Won two of his previous four outings. Primary contender. ROOSTER PHILLIPS (1) draws much better than last start and was a placegetter in SA prior. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (2) has been solid of late and draws for another good showing.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Skinny Horace at Port Pirie over 1609m in a 1 LIFETIME WIN on January 4 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Sweet Arpeggio at Gawler over 1609m in a 1 LIFETIME WIN GROUP on January 12 at $3.50. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Diamond Krusher at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 46 on February 4 at $2.60. Performed better the start before where she posted a big 18 m win after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:13.00) beating The Ninja in MAIDEN on December 26 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 9.2. Strong claims.

Resumed this campaign three starts back after a long break. Wasn't too bad last time 3rd (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 0.6 beaten 4 m by Brave Art (2:44.40) in NR up to 50 M on February 4 at $101. Will find this tough.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-4.4 beaten a neck by Brave Art (2:44.40) in NR up to 50 M on February 4 at $5.50. Two runs back won by 1.4 m (Fr5) at Charlton (2:35.20) beating Brave Art in NR 43 to 48 on January 19 at $61 at the bell was 4th-6.2. Capable of playing a major role.
