MERGER (4) settled well back and never threatened when ninth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has the talent to figure prominently. MAN'S CHOICE (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1207m after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FAST AND FRIENDLY (1) has switched yards since finishing third three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1207m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. DRILL CITY (3) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again.
