Tinkerbella brings solid credentials with a strong record at this track and distance plus recent open class experience.
Hi Frank represents speculative value as a first-up runner after a long spell.

Devil Devil presents as the standout selection with an exceptional track/distance record of 2 wins from 3 starts at Rockhampton 1050m. The inside barrier draw provides a significant tactical advantage in what should be a fast-paced race.
Her Rockhampton record is solid and she's proven at the distance. However, her poor good track statistics (1 win from 8 starts) are a significant concern for today's Good 4 conditions, preventing her from being the top selection.
Rideau appeals as a good track specialist with 2 wins from 6 starts on good surfaces. His first up run was solid for third and he's typically better second up, though his second up statistics (0 wins from 3 starts) are concerning. The good track conditions suit and he has quality connections, making him a solid each-way chance.
Bold And Smooth offers excellent value with an outstanding track/distance record of 2 wins from 3 starts at Rockhampton 1050m. The significant weight drop with claiming apprentice and good track conditions suit perfectly.

Recent form shows consistency with a 2nd and 3rd in last two starts.
Zhuang Shi brings solid credentials with a recent 3rd at this track and benefits from dropping in class. However, the 62.5kg impost is a concern, and his distance record shows 0 wins from 3 starts at 1600m, making him a solid place chance rather than the winner.
Boom Boom Bella won impressively at this track last start in Class 3 and has an excellent Rockhampton record. The inside barrier and light weight are major advantages, plus she's proven at 1600m.
The 6-year-old mare has a reasonable distance record and benefits from Jade Metcalfe's 3kg claim.

The consistent placings and class level performance make him the standout selection despite the maiden tag.
Pride Of Venus brings significant class advantages dropping from Open company to Maiden level, with the inside barrier providing tactical benefits. The 266-day spell is concerning, but the class drop and barrier draw offset fitness questions.
The second-up positioning provides fitness advantages, and the lightweight with claim makes her competitive.

Outwitted presents as the standout selection with a recent dominant win at this track and distance. The gelding has an excellent Rockhampton record (2 wins from 3 starts) and perfect form at 1300m. Despite carrying top weight, his strong improving form trend and track specialization make him the horse to beat.
Woodstock Rock brings excellent consistency with a 78% place record and strong recent form. While lacking a win at this track and distance, the gelding has shown quality in higher grades and appears well-suited to today's conditions. The consistent form pattern and good track condition suitability make him a reliable place chance, though the wide barrier is a concern.
Electric Brae comes off a dominant win at this track and drops significantly in class from Open company.
His recent Class 1 win was impressive, and he has a perfect record at Rockhampton.

Victory's Ghost stands out as the most reliable selection with exceptional Rockhampton form (2 wins from 9 starts) and a perfect distance record here (1 win from 2 starts).
Tizso Fab brings solid recent form including a close second at this distance. The class rise appears manageable given recent performances.
Fine And Rare comes off a last-start win and carries the minimum weight, providing a significant advantage. His Rockhampton form is solid and recent improvement is evident, though the class rise from maiden company presents the main concern.
Jay Bee Ell offers value as a last-start winner at this exact venue and distance. The barrier 2 draw is ideal and the class rise, while significant, comes after a convincing maiden victory.
