Rockhampton Race 8

BETDELUXE SAME RACE MULTI 5Th Grade F

Prize Money: $3,200

FEDERAL SAKI (2) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a one length second behind CAROL RAIN in 23.68. Smart run latest and looks a key chance here. CLEAR BLUE SKY (1) flew the lids and led throughout to score last time at big odds, winning by one length at this track over 407m (23.94). One of the prime contenders. CAROL RAIN (3) was a brilliant 23.60 winner at this track last start. In form and must include in calculations. GUS THE GREAT (5) is a course and distance winner who is right in the equation.
