HOT BLUE (7) was far from disgraced to finish 0. 6 lengths away in fourth last start over 7½f at Mornington. That followed a win on debut at Seymour. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MISS CASTELVECCHIO (14) finished out of the money two starts back then she was never in contention and was beaten 1. 4 lengths when fifth over 1m at Caulfield Heath three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind her. RUSHFORD (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Balnarring, beaten 6 lengths into eighth. The engagement of Bailey Kinninmont is noteworthy. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. SMOKE 'N' OAKUM (3) was comfortably accounted for when tenth last time out over 7f124yards at Geelong, beaten 10 lengths, after a win at Geelong at the previous outing. In the mix.
