Merton Race 1 - Mdn Plate
PERSUASIVE STAR (3) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1200m at Corowa last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Yarra Valley the run before. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to be prominent. DJAWARA (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 17 lengths when sixth over 1600m at Seymour two weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Has the class to find the winners' list. RED HOT GEORGE (4) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1500m at Mornington. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Seymour over 1300m. Among the chances while fresh. SKYLER'S PRINCESS (7) finished third last time over 1000m at Healesville, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
