Bel Merci has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BEL MERCI (10) ready-made 2yo who beat O' Ole and Memo in good style as fav on debut over 1000m in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at Randwick last October. Fitted with three solid trials since and can win again from the draw. WEST OF SWINDON (2) away slowly on debut and returned excellent figures late when a narrow second to North England over 1100m in the G3 Golden Gift here last November. Developed further over the break and hit the line with plenty of intent when second in a 1050m trial. Tempo suits and just needs to jump cleanly from the inside gate. WODETON (3) lived up to the hype although he didn't beat much when a commanding winner over this track and trip on January 18. Given the one soft 900m tick over trial at Warwick Farm since. Will need everything to go right from the outside gate. GAMBLER (8) and BEIWACHT (4) are both capable types who can take a hand in the finish at the good each way odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bel Merci to go close.
