Merriwa Race 3 - Hcp (C2)
STAR INTRIGUE (2) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a nose over 1200m at Dubbo. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AVOID ME (6) finished seventh two runs back at Tamworth then improved last time out to score by 2.75 lengths over 1500m at Tomingley. Steps up a level but she is worth serious consideration. MORE FOR US (5) has switched yards since finishing fifth seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 2200m at Scone. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. SOCIAL OUTCAST (1) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Tamworth. Fitter and sure to run well.
