About
On Her Merits is a 4yo bay mare from Australia trained by Bruce Cross at Warwick Farm. She is by Saxon Warrior out of Cee Gee Dancer and has recorded one victory in her career. On 4 Aug 2026 at Gundagai she claimed her biggest win, taking the $27,000 F&M Maiden Handicap. She has been a profitable choice for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 43% return on investment.
