SPEED MERCHANT (3) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt), scoring by half a length. Has a strong association with Luis A Valenzuela who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Leading contender. CASH WATERFALL (9) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Drops back in grade. Sure to be there at the finish. BUY LOCAL (8) scored his maiden win four back and is poised to salute again after finishing in the money at the last three outings, most recently when third over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. VANISHING MONEY (7) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 6 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on debut four weeks ago. Solid claims.
