Recent Merchants winner PISTOL PETE is most effective over this shorter trip so he should be hard to beat. TRUTH, TAXI TO THE MOON and COSMIC STAR are closely matched on that 1160m meeting but could pose more of a threat over this distance. KARATE KID and returning LITTLE BALLERINA are also capable of making their presence felt.
