A small field that lacks a pacemaker. Tough race. MERLIN BEACH (8) ran on well to score over 2400m last time at Hobart and beat a few of these. Back in trip but placed only try course and distance and also yet to win but has placed 3/4 this circuit. Nice weight and will be tough to stop. THE LONGEST YARD (2) came from last and scored here over 1650m last time. Rises sharply in weights but is drawn the inside and will stalk the pace throughout. Expected to be tough to stop with a repeat of that effort. AZONTO (7) is in form and is a solid top-three hope. DON'T GIVE UP (6) is better than last run when beaten 5 lengths into eighth over 2400m at Hobart and gets a chance to atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Merlin Beach will be tough to stop.
