Strong tempo with Thermodynamic, Swycho and Maxildo leading the way. Some in-form types clash here but the race drops away pretty quickly. No reason to think that MERCHANT BOSS (1) can't win again. He hasn't been far away in four runs since his last win. Looks well placed in this grade with the 3kg claim. He looks a great each-way bet. MAXILDO (5) has been good in easier races lately but will get a soft run from the inside draw and can run in the money. SWYCHO (4) is ready to win after two nice runs. She's a quality mare on her day and the step to 1600m looks ideal at this stage of her preparation. Respect the Victorian form of IMAMANZOR (3), while BIG SUE (2) must be a chance after an impressive win last weekend. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Merchant Boss to win.
