RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (8) is a track specialist having won at his past five appearances at Mildura and he came from last when a big winner over his classy stable mate Hot Deal on January 23. He met a smart field when fifth at Kilmore last outing and should prove hard to beat under these conditions. DHAULAGIRI (9) raced without cover throughout and went down fighting when a brave second in the Italian Cup at Globe Derby after a fourth in the Wedderburn Cup. He is racing in fine form and this is a drop back in class so he must be considered as a strong winning chance. TOUGH AINT ENOUGH (6) followed up behind JAXON BEACH (5) throughout and got home best to defeat that pacer last week. He has been placed in nineteen of his twenty-two starts at Mildura to date and will run his usual honest race. JAXON BEACH (5) has returned to his peak form recently and is a place chance along with LITTLE LOUIE (7).
