PISTOL PETE (2) scored by 0. 7 lengths when resuming last start in the G3 Merchants at this track over 5¾f after he came from a long way back on straightening. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from six starts. Significant class drop this time. Best form puts him right in this. COSMIC STAR (10) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 5¾f in the G3 Merchants at this track. This is the right race and he can play a major role. TRUTH (3) won when resuming then found stakes class a lot tougher last time out when sixth over 5¾f in the G3 Merchants at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. WHISTLE THE TUNE (4) kicked off this campaign with a win then was less impressive last time out when third over 5¾f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
