GURNEY HALLECK (7) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 905m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. MAYOROFGREENCOUNTY (4) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he looks sure to be in the mix. MUSICAL STANDARD (5) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten half a length, at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. STONE COLD JONES (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 905m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
