STORM MERCHANT (4) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 5f at Gold Coast two-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. EXCELOQUENT (6) is racing well. Scored at this track in a then finished second, beaten 0. 8 lengths, over 5½f at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. METALCRAFT (2) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last four-and-a-half months ago when he scored over 5½f at this track. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Best figures stack-up nicely. TENGUN JESSIE (8) scored on debut last start over 4f at this track on November 20, finishing 0. 6 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Has definite claims.
