FOX GEM (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Balaklava, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. APPLIED (12) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1m1f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. JAMROCK (8) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 5¼f at Balaklava. Likely improver with strong prospects. SOCIAL GROUP (11) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1m at Strathalbyn, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
