Verdict

Tough race. MERLIN BEACH (8) ran on well to score over 1 ½m last time at Hobart and beat a few of these. Back in trip but placed only try course and distance and also yet to win but has placed 3/4 this circuit. Nice weight and will be tough to stop. THE LONGEST YARD (2) came from last and scored here over 1 m last time. Rises sharply in weights but is drawn the inside and will stalk the pace throughout. Expected to be tough to stop with a repeat of that effort. AZONTO (7) is in form and is a solid top-three hope. DON'T GIVE UP (6) is better than last run when beaten 5 lengths into eighth over 1 ½m at Hobart and gets a chance to atone.
