RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: RONZEL MICKY (11) settled four back on the outside, circled around a tiring runner at the bell then finished off well for second behind Royal Saxon last week. She boasts a strong record at Mildura with ten victories to her credit and she should be hitting the line strongly against this opposition. OUR MASTER PLAY (12) hasn’t performed up to expectations at his past two attempts but he is usually competitive against this class and scored over Hesastar and Royal Saxon at a Midura victory on December 30, which is a good form reference. BEARTASTIC WRITER (3) is a fast beginner and performs best when he is able to lead. He attempted to lead throughout when third behind DIAMOND KRUSHER (8) at his latest attempt. MAGGACIS (6) settled three back on the markers, was held up for a run at a vital stage and finished off well for second two weeks ago then struck trouble at the 300m last week. He is racing better than his form reads and rates as a value hope.
