RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (9) boasts a very good strike rate at Mildura and should go well despite the poor draw. He sustained a big run from last when an impressive winner over HOT DEAL (7) on January 23 and his past two unplaced efforts were in the Ararat and Birchip Cups. HOT DEAL (7) performed below expectations at his latest Mildura performance but he has won ten of his twenty-two starts on the track and is strong enough to be in the finish. He did take on a top field when fifth in the Pure Steel two starts ago. PRIORITISE (6) is resuming since being unplaced in the Gunbower Cup but he won a trial at Mildura on Monday night and will be competitive if he is somewhere near his peak. POWERSOFPERSUASION (4), KEAYANG MOROCCAN (5) and JAXON BEACH (8) are all racing well enough to be worth thought against this line up. BACK: MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (9) – 1 unit (each way)
