Rockhampton Race 1 - Betdeluxe Rockhampton
DARK END (7) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (24.43), beaten 4 lengths. Has ability and looks hard to stop. CANYA AURORA (3) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (22.30) at Q Lakeside in a Maiden over 390m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Bold showing expected. MY DONUTS (1) is on debut without trialling for this. Worth keeping a close eye on the market.

Good effort last time when second (24.27) over 407m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Deserves respect.

Missed the frame latest (24.66) when fifth over 407m at this track in a Maiden. Starts from box 5 for the first time here. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fifth over 407m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Maiden on February 22 over 407m at this track behind Rosa's Peaches beaten 4 lengths (24.43). Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

First starter by Sunset Spitfire from Power By. Trained by Juanita Thompson. Might pay to watch for a market push.
