MILITARY MERIT (6) scored at the first run back from a break last time out over 2230m at this track on May 11, finishing 3 metres ahead of his rivals. Tackles a similar assignment and he can make it two on the trot this prep. ALDEBARAN MARCUS (5) found form and finished in the money two runs ago then came back to earth when he broke and finished fourth last start over 1800m at this track, coming home 24 metres from the winner after racing wide for the entire trip. Meets a similar line up so he is sure to be a force if the manners improve. OAKDEN (3) ended last prep with a fourth at this track over 1800m five months ago. Has placed second twice at this track from four career runs. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. SUNNY MAJESTY (4) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at this track over 2230m when sent out at long odds.
