GOING: S(5)

ROCKHAMPTON MINI LOADS KEN RUSSELL MEMORIAL RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: Out 2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.57).  

Good early pressure for top spot with Yule My Hero or Telmesomethin'girl likely to take up the running. MIL CIENTO (7) has placed three from three over this distance range and is racing with a lot of confidence this campaign. Winning hoop Bayliss stays in the saddle and should be going very close again from the favourable draw. The well-related OBLIQUITY (2) (half to 2xG2 winner and G1 placed Roots) has two wins and two placings from his past four outings and gets Collett in the irons to navigate from the wide draw. Can feature with any luck in running. GULF OF SIDRA (4) won over this track and trip before the spell and is capable of running a big race while fresh. MAXIE TAP (5) saluted over this course and distance last time out and cannot be left out of the exotics. ALEACO (1) next in line from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mil Ciento to win.
