STAND UP GUY (3) returns after a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5½f at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. TRAFFICSTORM (1) has not raced since he finished third over 6½f at Sunray Park on May 25. Sure to prove tough to stop. SHUG'S ROCKET (7) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 0.8 lengths over 5f at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and looks a big threat to the top selection. SHORT ROUND BOUND (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 28/03/2025, finishing fifth and beaten 14 lengths over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Sunland Park (Dirt). Francisco Amparan stays on. One of the better hopes.
