MERCHANT LADY (5) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 6¼f at Newcastle. A repeat of the latest effort will see her in the finish again. SMARTER THAN YOU (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work, working home in good style at the most recent outing to finish second over 7f65yards at Queanbeyan. Among the major players. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (3) got well back over 1m at Queanbeyan last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 6 lengths away in eighth. Has the ability to take this out. SEA OF FLAMES (1) ran below expectations last time at Narromine, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
