Speed should be right on over the 1000m journey. DON'T DOUBT MERLIN (4) trialled well at Rosehill and followed with a Maiden win here on debut heavily bet. Expect that to stick right up and Ford stays aboard. Fitter and can take the next step. STAR DIESEL (2) resumes in easier and was last seen narrowly beaten in a CL1 at Wyong. He is proven fresh and will carry 60kg with the handy 4kg claim. He can race forward and is a winning chance. SPINOSAURUS (1) resumed at Wagga and won a 58. He turned his immediate form around and will be better for it. The 2kg claim remains handy and he can't be ruled out. They rate clear. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Don't Doubt Merlin.
