Merriwa Race 1 - (Bm45)
SHOWTIME SASSY (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Warialda, finishing second and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 1170m. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. FLIGHT OR FIGHT (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 900m at Coonabarabran, beaten one length. Placed to advantage and can make her presence felt. DOZEN KILPATRICK (2) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 900m at Coonabarabran after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WESTERN EAGLE (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into tenth over 900m at Wellington. Fitter so a likely improver.
