APACHE BLUE (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fifth in a 6f contest at Belmont Park three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. FAMEUX (1) is back from a five-and-a-half months lay-off and he does run well when resuming, including a win over 5½f at Bathurst at the start of last prep. Ran fourth in a trial at Lark Hill over 5f recently. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SUNBRONZED (2) finished third last time over 5f at Belmont Park when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.75 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better. LOT HO (11) tackled city class last start when sixth over 6½f at Belmont Park. Should park just off the speed. One of the better hopes.
