Merton Race 3 - Trophy Race
WILD CANARY (2) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1200m at Yea on October 19. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. CALYPSO RICH (6) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last time out over 1175m at Albury, beaten 11 lengths. That followed a win at Yea at the previous outing. Robert Kirkpatrick gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Won't find this as tough so he can return to the winners' list. SPACE COWBOY (5) finished fourth two runs back at Healesville then improved last time out to score by a head over 1200m at Healesville. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. DUSTIN DHAHRAN (7) finished second last start over 1008m at Woolamai, beaten one length. Should be peaking. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
