Was she born as Merle McEwan?

Still trying to find something that has her age to help confirm it's the right Merle.

I'm assuming this is her as an 8 year old in 1935, at Smithfield (western Sydney) winning a couple of  Empire Day races:

Also wondering if Mr and Mrs E McEWAN mentioned above are Ernest and Alice McEWAN? A few mentions of them on trove.
