RELISH THE RIDE (4) is racing well without winning. Last start finished sixth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Leading chance. AUTHENTIC COWTOWN (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 6f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. MERGER (8) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as favourite over 6f at Belterra Park (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 1. 3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. JOHN FITZGERALD (9) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
