APURO (9) returns after a lay-off of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6½f at Aqueduct. Lines up. For the first time for trainer scott gelner. Should be hard to stop. DARK RUM (2) got well back over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 10 lengths away in fourth. Has the talent to take care of this field. . Turned in a better run last time when third, beaten 4 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Should be at his peak now. LONE TREE (7) disappointed as favourite last time when fourth over 5½f at this track. Prior to that he had been in the money two races on end.
