Mackay Race 1

Sky Racing Hcp

Prize Money: $21,000

BARBARIAN KING (1) showed real grit to notch up his maiden win by a nose last start over 1100m at Rockhampton 15 days ago. He looks to have a promising future, and he can repeat the dose. ON LOCATION (4) backs up quickly after a solid placing over 1000m at Townsville just 10 days ago, and he should be in the mix again, especially from a good gate. LITTLE LINDA (6) made her debut at Rockhampton over 1100m, finishing fourth. She has the pole position here, and she is worth keeping safe. BLESSED BOOM (5) is a juvenile filly by Spirit Of Boom out of the successful broodmare Blessed Anna. She makes her debut after 1 public trial where she placed at Rockhampton. Use the market as the best guide. DUB STEPPING (2) is fresh and capable of figuring in the finish in a field like this.

At debut, ran last in a small field at Rockhampton 2yo Hcp on January 29 over 1100m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Barbarian King carrying 57kg at $5.50. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Likely to improve sharply and looks hard to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
