STANLEY ROUGH (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 3.5 lengths into second over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has ability and is among the leading hopes. ON THE LEDGE (2) resumes from a lay-off of 14 months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 6f at this track (Dirt). Set for a bold return. HOTTAKEJAKE (13) will find this a little easier than his third on debut six weeks ago, beaten 2.75 lengths at the end of 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver so he is among the leading chances. ALPHA SONNY (7) finished 4 lengths away in fourth after being in contention on the bend at his last appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt) on May 25. Likely to be thereabouts.
