GOING: G(4)

ROCKINGHAM MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Dukes Spirit heading them off. CLASSIC ROYALE (1) raced as the favourite but disappointed over 1190m at Narrogin, beaten 2.75 lengths. Missed a whisker at York prior and with the 4kg claim should run the 1400m right out. Disappointed of late perhaps but hardly been poor and ratings are strong for this. FLICK'N RUBIES (8) just missed a place at Narrogin on the same day also over shorter. Ran into it well and this trip should suit. SUPER SAIYAN (2) has been racing in stronger Maidens and can't be ruled out in this grade. PRINCESS TORONADO (9) gets in light this level with a 3kg claim and will be fitter again. Has to go in among the chances given that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Classic Royale

Most recently second last in a small field at Narrogin Rtg 46+ on April 11 over 1190m, 2.75 len behind Four Seas carrying 54.5kg at $3.40. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at York on April 6 over 1200m, 0.6 len behind Missile Girl with 53kg at $5. Capable of sharp improvement.
