SHORT STORY LONG (1) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, when returning after a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. HALCON NEGRO (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 08/12/2024, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. Should be hard to stop. BLACKHILLSHERRIFF (6) debuted a week-and-a-half ago when he finished sixth over 5½f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Should be thereabouts. FRIENDLY (2) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Frank Huarte. By Audible from Mondaymorningblues. Worth watching for a betting push.
