MEGA VELOCITY (2) started at $1.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths at this track over 1200m. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. PEAKY EMPIRE (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. RICH MERCHANT (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1200m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Jumps from a wide draw but he cannot be underestimated. DREAMATIC (4) finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the primary contenders.
