MAN OF THE TOWN (3) returns after a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6¾f at Ipswich. Should be hard to stop. RUSTY TYCOON (13) tackled city class latest when fifth at Eagle Farm, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner. Won't find this assignment as tough. Bold showing expected. LA GRACIA (8) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1m2f at Canberra. Tuned up with a fourth in a recent trial at Doomben. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. ELROND (2) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish sixth over 6f at Ipswich. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and the longer journey looks ideal. Solid top-three prospects.
