MERCHANT OF GREECE (2) is a eight-start maiden who finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 5¼f at Morphettville. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. MRS PENNY CRACKER (5) is yet to break through in 16 runs but wasn't far away last time when third over 6f at Gawler on October 6. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Should be in the finish. LADY VANHUSEN (4) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time, finishing ninth over 7f at Morphettville Parks. Backmarker who keeps coming. Among the main hopes. PRINCE LUCIFER (7) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Balaklava over 6½f, beaten 6 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
