Rockhampton Race 3

Sky Racing

Prize Money: $2,400

BALLINGER BEACH (6) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (24.44) in a Grade 6 at this track. Has good early speed and can overcome the tricky draw. Can find winning form. SWIFT DRAGON (3) hit the frame two back then broke through last time by 3.5 lengths (24.13) at this track over 407m. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. STRAWBERRY CRUSH (7) got off the mark with her maiden victory last time at this track over 407m (24.24). Comes through a solid form race last start. One of main contenders. RUPEE RANGER (4) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 407m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 3.5 lengths in 24.47, beating Boulder Beach. Last start finished 6th over 407m at this track beaten 9 lengths (25.00) behind Spot On Betty in a Grade 6 on June 8. Not keen this time.
