SHOW ME MERCY (3) is a promising three-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished a neck away in third over 6f in the LR Gold Edition Plate at Eagle Farm. Excellent winning chance. Group 2 winner CHRYSAOR (2) has not appeared since he got the cash over 1m in the G2 Callander-Presnell at Randwick on October 28. Has found a suitable race. DEEP RESPECT (4) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when tenth over 6f in the LR Gold Edition Plate at Eagle Farm after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Should be peaking now and is sure to be about the mark. ZOUPHORIA (7) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a nose over 7f at Randwick. Takes on a better field this time but cannot be underestimated.
