Race Tip

MERCHANT EMPIRE (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Newcastle over 6f last time, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. PENSATIVA (11) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2.25 lengths win over 6½f at Gunnedah last time. Sure to measure up again. AFFERMATO (5) resumed over 7f at Warwick Farm last start when he sat close to the before fading in the straight to finish eighth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Genuine chance. SCHOLL DEEP (9) was below her best last time when 11th over 7f at Newcastle, beaten 9 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
