Mildura Race 3 - Club Merbein Maiden Pace
NOCOMMENT (1) made it two minor placings on the trot last start when she led and battled on well but found one better at this track over 2190m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. MELS NIGHT OUT (8) registered another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third over 2190m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Meets a comparable field and he can earn that well-deserved win. THE NINJA (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this track. TRYAGAINFREDDY (7) disappointed last time when eighth over 1790m at this track. Can bounce back.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Priddy Carson at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on March 27 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Fully Reckless at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on April 11 at $6. Draws the inside and is expected to be in the finish again.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Xlendi Star at this track over 1790m in a MAIDEN on April 7 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Fully Reckless at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on April 11 at $16. Going along well. Leading chance again.
