RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MERRYWOOD PAUL (4) working back into form and looks suited here. Recent racing has been solid.  Definite chance from the front-line draw. MIKISPUR (10) strong effort to win last start and relishing the new stable. Hard to hold out again. CRAYONS TO PERFUME (8) promising filly that showed good ability last campaign. Resumes here since January and expect a strong showing. SCHERGER THAT (9) does have his share of ability and is racing well. Strikes a suitable race and can figure in the finish. ROSBERG (7) racing against stronger opposition and can be an improver here. MAJOR MANBAR (2) JILLIBY SELWOOD (3) MISTER FONZI (5) MAJOR BERT (6) RISE ABOVE ALL (1) are amongst the place and first four hopes. EARLY SPEED: 3,4,5 RATINGS: 4/ 10/ 8/ 9/ 7/ 2/ 3/ 5/ 6/ 1
