Narrative:

I was instructed by mlu approach control to contact mlu tower when I was on a 1 1/2 mi right base leg for runway 18. Upon contacting the tower, I was informed that I was #2 behind another small aircraft who was on a midfield left downwind for runway 18. I had to enter an extended right downwind and visually locate the #1 traffic. There was another small aircraft approximately 2 or 3 mi northeast of my position who was advised by the tower that he was #3 for runway 18. While visually locating the 2 aircraft, I became distracted from my checklist. See diagram on reverse side.
