BOTANICAL BOY (7) turned in a modest performance when fifth last start over 6f at Geelong, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a good win on debut at Pakenham. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough. MISTY EMOTIONS (14) went forward last start over 6f at Moe and held on well for second, beaten a nose. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BELTHIL (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 1/02/2025, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside. Can make his presence felt. Set Weights IFT HIT (2) finished 4.5 lengths behind the winner in ninth over 6f at Echuca last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but is too good to overlook.
