MR JONES (3) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 5f at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. MONSIEUR MOOSE (6) settled in the leading division on debut last start but wilted close to home and finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 5f at Bairnsdale. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. I'M BACK IN TOWN (5) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Bairnsdale. Fitter and the blinkers come off. Among the leading chances. GAME AS NED (1) made debut six months ago at Echuca when finished in the placings and hasn't raced since. Sure to be improved by recent trials and must be included in calculations.
