Mildura Race 2 - Happy Birthday Al Lister Pace
LESTER (5) finished third at his most recent outing, beaten 5.5 metres, in a far better performance at Bendigo over 2150m. His recent form is good enough to put him right in the finish. OUR MASTER PLAY (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 20 metres into tenth at Ouyen over 2040m. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. APOLOGY ACCEPTED (8) disappointed last time when ninth over 1654m at Ouyen. Is better than that run suggests and can turn things around. THE AFRICAN QUEEN (6) must be respected after scoring first-up last start by 3.5 metres at Ouyen over 2040m.

Last start 9th (Sr4) over 1790m at this track beaten 30 m by Seaside Show (2:15.80) in MAIDEN on May 15 at $34. At the start before was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1790m at this track beaten 10 m by Ravishing Roxy (2:14.50) in MAIDEN on May 1 at $19. Maybe a place from the low draw.
