MERGER (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Can go on with it. NATIONAL STORY (5) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths as favourite over 6f at Belterra Park (Dirt). Alexander Chavez scored on him last time and retains the ride. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VECCHI (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. JOHN FITZGERALD (6) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Hard to leave out.
