Leinster Race 3 - Ddh1 Wa Drilling Hcp (Cl B)
I AM A ROCKSTAR (1) gets the nod after a fair second-up platform at Leonora, where he was fourth behind Shimari and beaten just over three lengths after working home evenly. The 3kg claim is useful against the top weight and his record at around this distance is solid enough for this field, with three placings from six attempts. GIGI GOGO (5) was also in that Leonora race and was kept safe near the top of an open market before finishing fifth, beaten three and a half lengths, so she has the profile to be closer if she finishes off from a better striking point. TINY CHAMPION (3) brings the most consistent recent finishing pattern, with consecutive thirds and two placings from two tries around 1400m, although her winning edge remains to be proven. GINGERIFFIC (4) was the recent near-miss, second to Racy Rascal at Leonora, and while she rises in weight from that run, another honest effort puts her in the minor-money picture. WILLYABRUP (6) is worth keeping safe.

Resumed with a fair fourth in a Mdn over 1200m at Leonora, beaten just over three lengths by Shimari after settling handy early and working home evenly. His Moruya run before the break was plain, but he is second-up now, gets a 3kg claim and has placed three times from six starts around 1400m. Placed often enough around this trip and sets the standard.

Has been soundly beaten at her past two, finishing sixth at Leonora last week when beaten over 19 lengths and making no impression from the rear. The Mingenew run prior was also well held, second last behind Populism after settling back. Race fitness helps, but the recent figures leave her with plenty to find.

Comes through a sound third at Leonora, beaten three lengths by Shimari after settling rearward and travelling well into the turn. That backed up another third at Mingenew in Class B grade, so her current form is reliable without yet being dominant. A genuine place hope again.

Went close at Leonora last week, finishing second to Racy Rascal and beaten a length and a half after holding her position to the turn. That was a clear lift on her Kununurra seventh in BM48+ company, where she was beaten just over eight lengths. Can go one better.

Worked home well from a long way back when fifth at Leonora last week, beaten three and a half lengths by Shimari after being near the top of an open market. The start prior at Junction was less convincing, as she faded late and was beaten just under ten lengths. Claim and class drop help, though the 1400m record is a query.

Was unwanted in the market at Leonora last week and finished fourth of five behind Danea Rock, beaten over 12 lengths after only working home evenly. His previous fourth at Mingenew was more competitive, but still six lengths from Quick Cookie at long odds. Finds the right race now though and he won't be far away.
