Mildura Race 6 - Merbein Club Pace Final
NO EMOTION (11) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a head from the winner in second over 2190m at this track. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. LOVE TO DEAL (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 3.5 metres from the winner in fourth over 2190m here. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. She is capable of another big performance. GROVE DALE (1) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this circuit. Include from the coveted pegs. PUNTO CALIENTE (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw and may trouble the judge.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind The African Queen at Ouyen over 2040m in a NR up to 46 on May 10 at $101. Then a handy effort when a close third after a quick start, behind Punto Caliente at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 44 on May 15 at $8. One of the chances.

Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 55 m by Punto Caliente (2:47.00) in NR up to 44 on May 15 at $101. Before that 10th (Fr3) over 1790m at this track beaten 23 m by The Tooth Fairy (2:14.50) in NR up to 45 on May 1 at $11. Unlikely to threaten.

At the run before 8th (Sr4) over 1790m at this track, beaten 30 m by Ohana By The Sea (2:12.50) in 0-3 WINs on May 1 at $81. Hasn't drawn the best again but he is a strong winning chance on best form.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind The African Queen at Ouyen over 2040m in a NR up to 46 on May 10 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Punto Caliente at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 44 on May 15 at $3.40. Rates highly and is well-placed to take this out.
