AUDIBLE STORM (2) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1408m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Likely to be there at the finish again. GURNEY HALLECK (1) was prominent from the outset when second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Leading chance. HELL OFA HILLBILLY (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1308m at Timonium after being in contention on the corner. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. MUSICAL STANDARD (5) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start over 1408m at this track. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Worth another chance.
