Rockhampton Race 4

Sky Racing

Prize Money: $3,800

GAS IT UP (2) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh at Townsville, but was among the placings at Townsville three back. Look for sharp improvement here. SCOTCH ROCKET (4) was well fancied to win maiden two back then finished third last start (24.43) at this track over 407m. Has placed four times at this track. Will give a sight again. SUMMER SAND (8) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at Townsville over 380m behind Oscar Tommy (22.68) in a P5. Likely to be about the money. KELMAR INDI (7) is worth a look despite no experience at this trip.

Having her first run at Rockhampton. Comes off an average run last start over 498m at Townsville when fifth behind Top Notch Scotch (29.38) in Restricted WIN. This looks too tough.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (23.94) at this track over 407m. Looks a solid hope.
