The second race on the card is a big field maiden and hopefully SCARLET ROCKS can finally get his head in front from Master Macho and Bunce. Scarlet Rocks looks a listed colt and has been unlucky to bump into a few decent horses especially on his latest start when second to a Richard Hannon hotpot. Connections of that Hannon horse hold him in high regard and Scarlet Rocks may not have to improve to take this. He also has a lot of experience on his side which is priceless in these two-year-old races. The selections biggest danger will probably come from the Hannon horse who will know exactly where he stands in this race. As said above a Hannon horse beat the selection so an influx of money for Bunce would be significant. He is speedily bred and has some decent entries later in the season so monitor him closely. Master Macho has experience on his side which will count for a lot but is vulnerable to some classier types. First time out horses to watch are Addock And Egg and Drawing Board.
