MR JONES (3) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 5f at Ballarat after being prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. HEOFON (11) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 5½f at Avoca after being in contention on the bend. Ideally placed to shed the maiden tag. DAKOTA ELEGANCE (6) is on a quick back-up after finishing fifth in better company seven days ago over 5f at Cranbourne. Likely improver with top-three prospects. ELVIS (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 6½f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope.
