Geraldton Race 1 - Emu Creek Gardens And Venue Centre (Bm70+)
BLUE ROCKET (3) is knocking on the door of another victory having gone under by 0.5L in Saturday grade most recently. Faithfull has a good record aboard the filly and she's open to further improvement being lightly raced. Can sit close to the speed and go one better this time. ON THE MARK (1) has strung together four wins on-end, sitting on the speed and running away to win by 1.2L. He's right up in the weights now, but there's no knock on his form and he should be on the speed again. He's the main danger. GOLD KEEPER (5) was just behind ON THE MARK last time out and meets that runner better at the weights today. He rates highly on that effort and if he can go on with the job, he'll be right in the finish. UNDER INFLUENCE (2) will find this a little easier than recent efforts and draws well today. Can put his best foot forward.

Going well. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track Rtg 70+ on March 20 over 1117m, 1.2 len behind On The Mark carrying 54kg at $17. Before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by a head at this track Rtg 58+ March 1 over 1200m defeating Moorumbine carrying 55kg at $9. Worth following up.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Comes off a 36 day let-up. First-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track Rtg 58+ January 9 over 1100m defeating Justhandy carrying 57kg at $12. Last start came from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Rtg 58+ on March 1 over 1200m, head behind Gold Keeper carrying 59.5kg at $26. Tougher here but he's in the mix on recent form.
