St Arnaud Race 3 - Caseys Truck & Tractor/Sprayer Centre Pace
LOUS MAMBO (5) finished third last start over 2240m at Melton, beaten 4 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at Hamilton the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. SURETHING (3) was 8 metres away in second at Mildura over 2190m last start at her first run back from a spell. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. XLENDI STAR (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his first run back over 1750m at Swan Hill. SWIM SUIT (2) is better than his last-start seventh over 2240m at Melton. Include in combinations.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut 4th (Fr1) over 2160m at Hamilton was 4th-6.1 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Dispersion (2:40.20) on October 26 at $4.20. Likely improver from a low draw.
