7Zousain Girl

Our price $1.80 · SP $1.35 · Karl Zechner

The step up to 1600m looks suitable based on her strong finishing efforts, and she maps to get a perfect run from barrier 1.

2nd pickWon
3Be Bob Aloola

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Raul Silvera Olivera

The natural progression to 1600m looks suitable based on his strong finishing effort last start, and he appears to be improving with each run. Maps to settle midfield and should be strong late.

3rd pick3rd
1Ready Lightly

Our price $9.00 · SP $14.00 · Julie Busuttin

Ready Lightly brings valuable experience to this race with a placing at this track and distance. His recent form has been consistent with three placings from his last five starts, including a third over this course last start. While he's yet to break through for a win, his consistency and experience at the distance are significant advantages. Should settle forward from barrier 7 and be in the finish again.

Value pick4th
6Cirque De La Vie

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Warwick Satherley

The addition of ear muffs pre-race may help her settle better, and her breeding (by Circus Maximus) suggests the step up to 1600m could be ideal. As a lightly-raced filly with just three starts, she has significant scope for improvement.

Winner2. Doubting EyeSP $2.80
★ Top pickWon
2Doubting Eye

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.80 · Raul Silvera Olivera

Doubting Eye brings the strongest credentials with an exceptional record at Rockhampton (9 wins from 23 starts) and specifically at this track/distance (5 wins from 9 starts). Has proven soft track ability (6 wins from 20 starts) and handles the weight well. Clearly the horse to beat despite the class rise.

2nd pick3rd
5Obligated

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.70 · Adam Sewell

His first-up record (1-1-0) suggests he can fire fresh, and his last start was a win. However, he lacks experience at Rockhampton and has limited soft track form.

3rd pick2nd
3Early Fusion

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.90 · McKenzie Apel

Early Fusion brings a strong win rate (40%) and is second-up today where he has a win from two attempts. His Rockhampton record is solid with 2 wins from 4 starts, though he lacks experience at this specific distance. His recent form has been consistent with multiple wins in his last preparation. While not as proven on soft tracks as the top selection, he has the class to be competitive.

Value pick5th
4Media Empire

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · Warwick Satherley

His recent form has been declining but the drop in weight and return to a favored track/distance setup could see significant improvement.

10Lady Willpower

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.10 · Ron Stewart

The addition of blinkers first time should sharpen her focus, and her consistent form (0-1-0 from 3 starts) suggests she's ready to break through. Ron Stewart takes the ride and she maps to get a nice trailing position in a fast-tempo race.

2nd pick4th
2Moochi Starlight

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · Ryan Wiggins

Moochi Starlight is the definition of consistency with 6 seconds from 11 starts. His track record is exceptional (0-4-0 from 5 starts) and he's proven at this track and distance. Ryan Wiggins knows this horse well and from barrier 7 should get a good position in the fast-tempo race.

3rd pick3rd
11Shemakesmenervous

Our price $6.00 · SP $11.00 · Chris Mc Iver

Her overall record shows consistency (0-3-2 from 13 starts) and the gear change (nasal strip on, winkers off) could spark improvement. From barrier 4, Chris McIver should be able to position her midfield with cover in a race that should be run to suit.

Value pickWon
5Wax On Wax Off

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.10 · Cody Collis

This 3yo gelding is still improving and should appreciate the fast tempo expected in this race. Cody Collis takes the ride and despite the wide draw, he should be able to find cover midfield and finish strongly.

1Mariko

Our price $3.80 · SP $6.00

Coming off a strong 2nd place finish at Mackay just 9 days ago carrying 58.5kg, he drops significantly in class here. Should settle on pace from barrier 3 which suits the track, and his early speed will be valuable in a race with predicted fast tempo.

2nd pick10th
11Whenharry Metelsie

Our price $8.00 · SP $17.00 · Tahlia Fenlon

Whenharry Metelsie showed promise with a strong 3rd placing first-up at this track and distance on a soft track 21 days ago. The mare has shown an affinity for soft tracks with 1 placing from 2 starts and gets in with just 55.5kg. The wide barrier is offset by the long straight at Rockhampton.

3rd pick2nd
10Heroic Talent

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.50 · Raul Silvera Olivera

The gelding has shown ability with 2 placings from 9 starts and gets in with just 55.5kg. Drawn well in barrier 2 and dropping significantly in class from his previous start where he placed 2nd in open company. Should appreciate the fast tempo predicted for this race.

Value pick8th
9Ready And Betta

Our price $26.00 · SP $41.00 · Adam Sewell

The gelding is dropping significantly in class after racing in open company earlier in his career. While yet to place from 5 starts, he's been racing consistently and should appreciate the fast tempo predicted for this race. Well drawn in barrier 4 with a light weight of 56kg.

5Next Legacy

Our price $4.20 · SP $8.00 · Raul Silvera Olivera

The filly has shown consistent form with 2 wins from 8 starts and performs well on soft tracks. Well-drawn in barrier 4 and should get a perfect midfield position to capitalize on the likely fast tempo.

2nd pick2nd
1Saraqael

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.30 · Warwick Satherley

Saraqael brings strong credentials with a perfect record at track and distance. However, the top weight and likely speed battle with American Conquest are concerns. Should be right in the finish but may find Next Legacy too strong late after the anticipated fast tempo.

3rd pick10th

While the wide barrier is a concern, she should get back and be suited by the fast tempo.

5Skilful Artist

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.80 · Chris Mc Iver

Progressive gelding coming off a strong maiden win over this trip where he showed good tactical speed and a strong finishing burst. The moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing pattern, and he gets the services of a capable jockey in Chris Mc Iver.

2nd pick8th
4Peaking Tom

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.50 · Ron Stewart

Has a good draw and should get an ideal run in transit. While his win strike rate is modest, his recent form suggests he's ready to break through in this grade, and the step up to the mile should suit based on his racing pattern.

3rd pick5th
1General Wolffe

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.50 · Tahlia Fenlon

Seasoned campaigner with an excellent record at this track and distance. Coming off a solid third placing over 1835m and drops back to a more suitable trip where he's been most effective. The class drop is significant and should offset the top weight. The wide barrier is a concern but his experience should allow him to overcome it.

Value pick7th
8Grumpywantsatissue

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.00 · Karl Zechner

Progressive 3yo coming off a strong win at this distance last start. Has a strong record at the mile with 2 wins from 7 attempts and gets in well at the weights with 56kg. The barrier draw is favorable, and as a younger horse, he has more scope for improvement than many of his rivals.

Our price $2.60 · SP $3.10 · Maddie Mankelow

She's dropping in class from a BM62 to this BM55, and has shown consistent form with a win in BM55 company three starts back. The mare is well drawn in barrier 2 which suits her forward racing pattern, and the expected fast tempo should allow her to settle just off the pace and finish strongly.

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · Tahlia Fenlon

His track and distance record is particularly impressive with 1 win and 1 placing from 3 attempts.

The wide barrier is a concern but he should get a nice trail with the expected fast tempo.

13Holy Crown

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.00 · Natalea Summers

She's been racing consistently with 3 placings from her last 5 starts and is well weighted with 56.5kg. The inside barrier can be tricky but with blinkers back on, she should be able to hold a position. Her track record and recent form suggest she's ready to run well in this slightly easier class.
