MAKO MERV (8) recorded his 2nd career win last time at Richmond, scoring by a nose (22.84). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Form reads well for this. HEY MARTY (2) was below best last time when sixth but three back was a Grade 5 winner in quick time at Nowra. Can hit the frame this time. DARBY SAID (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 330m. Leading player again. JAKE'S DESIRE (6) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 520m at Nowra beaten 10 lengths (30.53) behind Zipping Cruella in a Grade 5 on January 29. Placed two back at Nowra. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 19.35, beating Destini Pandora. Last start finished 7th over 330m at this track beaten 7 lengths (19.76) behind White And Black in a Grade 5 on February 11. This looks too tough.
