RED ROCKS BEAUTY (2) copped a check in the run and finished out of the placings when seventh (31.64) at Sandown over 515m in a Mix 6/7 H. Worth following up. DOUBLE DAICOS (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (26.36) in a Grade 7 at Warragul over 460m. Can figure in the finish. RICO BALBOA (4) was in the minors two back (26.40) at Warragul but ran below best last time there, finishing 8th. Won at his only start from this box. Bold showing expected. HOT SPOT (8) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Won two starts back over 400m at Warragul. Last start he finished 4th over 460m at Warragul beaten 4 lengths (26.36) behind Amron Sammy in a Grade 7 on January 7. Draw likely to suit. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won easily by 7 lengths at Geelong (22.83) beating Irena Bella in a Maiden on December 31. Not keen, needs to lift.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (25.27) in a T3 Grade 7, finishing a 13 length seventh. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Can feature with the right run.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Needs to do more. Others better.
