St Arnaud Race 2 - Jarryd Ezard Constructions Pace
EL LAZZAR (5) worked to get to the lead and kept finding to salute last start over 1750m at Swan Hill, the second win from his past three appearances. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. WICKED MITZI (1) finished sixth last start, beaten 8 metres at Shepparton over 1690m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. EMILY VINCENT (2) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1690m at Kilmore. MAJOR MANBAR (4) ended last prep with a sixth at Bendigo over 2150m a year ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Resuming after a spell of a year. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into sixth behind Can Be A Ruebe at Bendigo over 2150m on November 5 2025 at $6. Sure to be in the mix while fresh.

Racing consistently. Last start posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Swan Hill (2:05.10) beating Ozzie Daybreak in on October 30 at $1.45 at the bell was leading 4. Likely to measure up again.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 2240m at Swan Hill, beaten 30 m by The Final Dance (2:41.00) on October 30 at $81. Two runs back won by a head when quickly away, (Fr3) at Mildura (2:44.20) beating United in on May 1 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 3.6m on the pegs. Can improve enough to play a big role.
