Rockhampton Race 8 - Sky Racing
HEFFERNAN BALE (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (24.19) in a Grade 3/4 at this track. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Can make amends. DROPPING GEARS (2) shapes well for this on his quick win a few runs back, getting around this track over 407m in 23.81 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Expected to feature on best figures. BLAKE'S JOHN (8) finished second (24.21) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 7th there. Has a good record here at this journey. Shapes as one to consider. SIRIUS TODD (4) comes off a big run when finishing second in a slick 23.73 last time. Has claims on that run.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 3/4 on September 7 over 407m at this track behind Pelorus beaten 3.5 lengths (24.19). Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (24.20) at this track in a Grade 4/5. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. Looks suited and should go close.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 407m at this track. Better off looking to others.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd on September 3 over 407m at this track behind Sneaky Pete beaten 2 lengths (23.73) in a Grade 4/5. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Last start finished eighth in a Mix 5 on July 14 over 390m at Q Lakeside behind Philly Special, beaten 11 lengths (23.06). This looks too tough.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 6 length third (23.96) over 407m at this track. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Missed the frame latest (24.38) when seventh over 407m at this track in a Free For All. Has two wins and six placings from 11 starts from the draw. Has ability and should feature.
