---|---|---|---|---|
Anticipating a stack of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time. CRYPTOSTAR (4) has been a 2-time winner at Rockhampton this prep and won his last race there by over 3 lengths nearly 6 weeks ago. He has been kept up to the mark with a placing at a recent trial and despite a wide draw here, he is still the one to beat again. SUN WORSHIPPER (14) won by a neck on debut at Rockhampton nearly 3 weeks ago and will be even more focused second up with that experience under her belt. She even has a kilo less to carry this time and another win is not beyond her. PARETO (10) has displayed good ability at the trials and is expected to make his presence felt on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cryptostar to win.
