ROCK THE RED (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track eight days ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. POPPY'S PRIDE (2) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1106m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. HELLO JELLO (7) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Scored back-to-back wins before running below his best at the last run of the prep, finishing eighth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sure to be competitive. JOHN'S ROCK (1) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Has raced seven times here and has never missed the frame. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
