Rockhampton Race 5 - Melbourne Cup Races At Callaghan Park Mdn Plate
Tricky maiden. MOOCHI STARLIGHT (4) is knocking on the door. The wide draw could make things tricky early, but he's rock- hard fit now and well placed against this line-up. PRIDE OF VENUS (7) resumes for a new stable and gets the key booking of Wiggins off a nice trial win here in readiness. Finds a suitable race fresh and looks a genuine winning chance. TAYLOR'S RAGE (12) was sound fresh without impressing. Fitter now and gets the blinkers on first time to help her focus. Among the chances. GEE UP (2) hit the line strongly from the back when resuming at Mackay, only beaten 2.5L. Can improve sharply if he settles closer in the run. PENSEUR POSITIF (11) debuts and hinted some ability in a recent trial. Market moves will be key to his chances.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by Sidestep out of Dam Wonderful. At the most recent trial finished fourth on June 24 at Sunshine Coast Poly over 1000m. Doesn't shape as a strong winning hope today.

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Mdn on August 5 over 1050m, slow going 2 len behind Ten Carat Lucy carrying 57kg at $2.60. The start before that 2nd of 11 at Mackay Mdn on July 26 over 1100m, long-neck behind Ravenite with 59kg at $3.20. Racing well and can break through this time.
