SPEED MERCHANT (5) lines up for the first time since February 15. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a lay-off last prep. Expect him to play a major role. DRIVING MONEY (3) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks that came after he recorded two straight wins to close last campaign. Ready for a big return to racing. READS ARTFUL RUN (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Steps up a level but he is fitter and good enough to feature. VANISHING MONEY (6) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 6½f in Listed grade at Sunray Park (Dirt) ten weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Must be respected.
