GURNEY HALLECK (1) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1408m at Laurel last start. Change of jockey to Arnaldo Bocachica who has a strong record when aboard with a win and three placings from four rides. Bold showing expected. IHAVEANAPPFORTHAT (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Laurel (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten half a length. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and three minor placings from five starts. Should prove tough to beat. MUSICAL STANDARD (5) has not been sighted since he scored over 1308m at this track on October 16. One of the leading contenders. RED DAWN COMING (4) recorded his first win last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
