ROCK HARD LOVE (1) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 1f80yards at The Red Mile (Dirt). Overdue and gets his chance to break through. BEACH FIRST (11) last appeared on October 26 when a good fourth over 1f130yards in Group 3 class at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Has found the right race. HF JUST RENO (2) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1f130yards in Group 3 grade at this track (Dirt) on October 26. Makes plenty of appeal. APOLLITICAL OCEAN (7) last appeared when eighth over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half months ago. Definite top-three chance.
