Storm Merchant benefits from the inside barrier on a leader-biased track. Lack of heavy track experience is the main concern but the draw compensates.
The 272-day spell is a concern but the heavy track win and Aaron Bullock booking provide significant confidence. The fast tempo should suit her finishing style.
She has proven track ability at Port Macquarie with a win and placing, and Luke Rolls has a solid 11% strike rate here. The recent Heavy 8 placing at Coffs Harbour shows wet track tolerance despite the declining form trend.

Newy showed good form on heavy ground last start and maps well from barrier 6.
Patrioticintention has prior Port Macquarie success and heavy track experience. The inside barrier is a significant advantage on this leader-biased track.
