Race 10

Prize Money: $797

SALACRES MERKEL (1) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (29.67) at this track over 500m. Leading chance again. ROMEO REGENT (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (30.01) in an A5 at this track over 500m. Worth another chance. BALLYMAC ANDRE (6) produced a moderate effort last time when sixth at this track over 500m behind Fabulous Islay (30.06) in an A5. Was in the money prior to that. Great chance to atone. TROMORA BONNIE (4) was out of the money two runs back then improved sharply last time to score at this track over 500m (29.57). Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (30.04) over 500m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A6 by 6 len at this track over 500m (29.57). Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 500m in an A5 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.
