WEAR THE CROWN (4) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 6f at this track (Dirt). Form this track is hard to knock with five wins from 12 starts. Leading contender. DENNARD (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at this track (Dirt) over 6½f last time, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths. Nicely placed to make amends. OUR VALLEY (1) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Jack Mccartney barn. Finished off last campaign with a fourth at Turf Paradise (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Definite winning chance. CANDIED LUTE (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Strips fitter and can improve.
