Not much gate speed on show enabling Merkur to roll to the front. K TWO LEONE (5) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DAZZLING ICE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KRIS BERG (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot return to winning ways. MERKUR (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
