Mildura Race 7

Zilzie Wines Pace

Stake: $9,900

POWERSOFPERSUASION (5) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when he scored by a nose over 1790m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two on the trot. HOT DEAL (8) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 9 metres into eighth at Melton over 2240m. Has the class to take care of this field. OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 1720m at Melton. Can make amends. MY ULTIMATE LEVI (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 2190m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1720m at Melton, at the bell was 7th-13.15 beaten 6 m by Act Now (2:00.40) in No NR on December 7 at $151. The start before was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton was 8th-9.08 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Triple Eight (2:40.30) in No NR on November 30 at $61. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 9 m by Quiet Storm (2:46.40) in 1W/15 0K stake on November 23 at $3.60. Showed ability the race before when he won by 4 m (Sr3) at this track (2:11.00) beating Idyllic in No NR on November 8 at $8 at the bell was 3rd-2.6. Great chance to bounce back.
