Rockhampton tips and results

Our price $8.00 · SP $18.00 · Tasha Chambers

The inside barrier is perfect at Rockhampton, and the significant gear changes (winkers on, ear muffs off) could spark improvement.

Our price $15.00 · SP $14.00 · Chris Mc Iver

Marrero was well beaten on debut but gets significant gear changes here which could spark improvement. From barrier 3, he should be able to use his early speed to take up a forward position in a race that should suit on-pace runners at the 1100m start. The experienced Chris McIver takes the ride, and second-start improvement is often significant in maidens.

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.00 · Ashley Butler

Outwitted brings the strongest credentials with an exceptional record at Rockhampton and proven ability on soft tracks. The inside barrier is ideal given the track bias favoring inside gates, and his recent form has been consistent. Ashley Butler knows this horse well and has been aboard for recent placings.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.00 · W G Satherley

Tipsy Tiger brings solid form into this race, winning last start and showing consistent performances. She's well-drawn in barrier 4 and has an excellent record on soft tracks which suits today's conditions.

Our price $15.00 · SP $31.00 · Tasha Chambers

Her record on soft tracks is solid, and the slight class drop should help her chances significantly.

Our price $6.00 · SP $18.00 · Sean Cormack

Svindal represents a significant overlay dropping in class from recent Open company races. While his soft track record is poor (18: 1-0-4), the current track bias strongly favoring backmarkers (20% win rate) perfectly suits his running style.

Our price $15.00 · SP $11.00 · Ms G Cartwright

Outta Control represents a speculative value play first up from a long spell. His first-up record shows 1 win from 2 starts, and his backmarker running style aligns with the current track bias favoring closers.

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.60 · Nikki Olzard

Progressive 3yo filly with excellent recent form, winning her last two starts impressively. While she's rising in class and drawn wide, her tactical versatility and proven soft track form make her the standout selection. The inside bias at Rockhampton should be manageable given her early speed.

Our price $2.10 · SP $3.70 · Leslie Tilley

The gelding has drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to take advantage of the likely fast tempo, settling midfield before unleashing a strong finish. His best time at the distance is competitive, and the addition of winkers first time should sharpen him up.

Our price $6.50 · SP $10.00 · Tasha Chambers

His last start second placing shows he's in good form, and the return of the tongue tie is a positive gear change.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.80 · Ashley Butler

One Thing Counts brings solid credentials with a strong record at the mile (2-2-0) and consistent recent performances. The good barrier draw and ability to handle soft conditions are significant positives. While unproven at Rockhampton, his tactical versatility should allow him to settle midfield and finish strongly. The moderate tempo should suit his racing pattern, and he's well-weighted compared to the top selection.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Tom Orr

General Wolffe represents excellent value with his outstanding record at Rockhampton over the mile (1-3-1). The significant weight relief with 53kg is a major advantage, and his barrier draw allows for a positive position in running. While his win strike rate is low, his place record is solid, and he's consistently competitive at this level.

Our price $9.00 · SP $11.00 · Sean Cormack

His barrier 4 draw is advantageous and his form is trending upward with a 4th placing last start.

Our price $7.50 · SP $9.50 · Ms G Cartwright

He carries just 55kg and should be suited by the likely fast tempo. While his barrier 10 draw isn't ideal and he lacks wins at the track, his consistent recent form and weight advantage make him an appealing value proposition. His 6th placing last start was better than it looks on paper.
