Merton Race 5 - Merton Cup

RETROSPECTION (6) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when a nose away in second over 2008m at Woolamai. Among the leading chances. ANYTHING BUT (5) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1775m at Drouin, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Woolamai at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. PORTOBELLO ROAD (3) was beaten just a neck last start when third in a small field over 2008m at Woolamai. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. PATRICK (1) was beaten 1.2 lengths into fifth over 2100m at Benalla two-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed to make amends.
