Mildura Race 4 - Mcdonalds Irymple And Mildura Pace Final
DALLAS MIKI (9) enjoyed the return to this circuit on Tuesday when he raced up to four wide early before finding the front and cruising home by more than 11m over this distance. That victory meant he has won the last three times he has raced here, all of them from this row. Can do it again. TO THE NINES (2) added to his recent string of good performances when runner-up to DALLAS MIKI last start. Gets the same draw and should enjoy a nice run from there. Can make an impact again. WATCHTHECLOCK (5) was third behind the top two selections on Tuesday, giving him two wins and three placings from his last six starts. Go well again. SHOTINTHEDARK (7) is better than what he showed last time and scored back-to-back wins last month so is worth including.

Can play a role.

Good performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Hooklineandsinker at this track over 1790m in a NR 52 to 56 on March 27 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Dallas Miki at this track over 1790m in a NR 54 to 63 on April 7 at $31. Rates highly. Expected to be in the finish again.
