RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW DALLAS MIKI (12) broke stride at the start and lost his winning chance at Swan Hill last week. He produced a huge performance after circling around the field to find the lead from a similar bad draw when he scored in a sizzling mile rate of 1.56.5 two starts ago so he must be respected.: SHOTINTHEDARK (11) has won two of his past four starts and will appreciate a drop back in class from his latest fifth at Melton. He is versatile and should be competitive at his Mildura debut. MIDNIGHT PIRATE (8) led out then took cover and finished second behind DALLAS MIKI (12) at his latest attempt. He has a nice trailing draw and should run a good race again. TO THE NINES (2) endured a wide trip and had excuses when fifth behind HOOKLINEANDSINKER (6) last outing. He is much better drawn for this assignment and is worth another chance.
