EXTREME MERGER (8) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Narromine with success over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. No reason he cannot salute again. HILL BILLY FLYER (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Toowoomba over 6½f after being prominent from the outset. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. ZOFFANY'S GAZE (2) is back after a break of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5f at Gunnedah. Has a solid when resuming record of two wins and two placings from four runs. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. DEEBO (10) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a lay-off last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 6f at Tamworth. Well-placed and can feature in the finish.
