GOING: S(5)

ROCKY CUP CARNIVAL ON SALE NOW Class 1 Handicap 1050m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +8m Entire . (Pent: 5.74)  

Good pace from Bee Two, Lucky Strong and Irish Rocket. BEE TWO (1) goes first up into this after a few good runs when last in work. He will use the draw to position right on the speed and we suspect this is the best distance for him. Market will tell a good tale. HEY JEALOUSY (5) could be one to pounce given she is race hard fit. Once heading to Queensland she has only run well. Still hard to beat but the barrier is a bit of a concern. IRISH ROCKET (4) did a fair job in a weak race a month back. Is coming back down in the weights a bit. LUCKY STRONG (3) has found his right form in recent outings. Can place again. CRIMSON DECIPHER (6) has to be a big watch in the betting. Trialled well too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bee Two is hard to beat. Crimson Decipher likely is value.
