|---|---|---|---|---|
|
MERGE RIGHT (3) broke last start but still managed to get the cash by 8 metres over 2200m at this track. That was a pleasing progression after missing the placings the run before. It doesn't get any easier but she is going well enough to take this out. GETAGRIP (9) made it two wins from two runs this prep last start when he got the cash by a head over 2200m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running another bold race. MARTIN MAGIC (8) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished fourth at this track over 2200m. TILLY JAYNE (10) is a chance after finishing in the money for the second time in a row last start, beaten 16 metres into second at Albion Park.
