BE MERRY (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten a long neck into second over 5f at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. CHARLENE (7) returned from a break of three months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Has been in the money three times over this course and distance. Likely to feature. STU'S GIRL (4) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Has the talent to figure prominently. ELLORIX (9) has filled a minor placing on four occasions in 10 starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fourth over 5½f at this track. Has a good record at this distance with three top-three results from six starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Should give backers a sight.
