Gavea Race 3 - Premio For Merit
BRIA (2) is in excellent form and has not missed the frame in his past five starts, most recently finishing third over 1500m here and he is again looking like the one they have to beat. TWO SOCKS (8) doesn't win often but ran a strong race last start when second over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths, and his best figures make him a genuine threat. VULCAN BOY (4) is racing well, having won two back before a solid fourth over 1300m here, and with his on-pace style he should be in this for a long way. MIURA (1) resumes after finishing fifth over 1200m here before a break and finds a suitable race to make her presence felt. Each way value.

At the latest run second last of 8 at this track on March 2 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 24 len behind Taxi Driver carrying 58kg at $8. The race before that won by 1.0 len at this track January 26 over 1300m on a heavy track defeating Laugh Forever carrying 58kg at $3.90. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.
