TRADE WAR won a thriller last time and his merit rating has gone up 3 points. He could make further improvement and should have every chance from a decent draw. BLESS ME FRED is also knocking at the door for more wins. He was beaten less than a length by SEA VISTA and is now 1.5kg better off. The latter, while not the most consistent around, could be getting the hang of things and may be hard to peg back again this time. Highveld raiders CLEAN LIVING and FULLIAUTOMATIX have shown enough to run good races in this company. More can earn.
