Race Analysis
MERLIN BEACH (5) was given time to settle from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching second over 1m2 3/4f at this track. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Sure to go well. AURELIO (7) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1m1 1/4f at Edenhope. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SIR JAG (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m2 3/4f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LORD HEAR US (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m2 1/2f at Hobart, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. Well placed to make amends.
