Rockhampton Race 5 - The Silky Sam Thaiday (Bm55)
An open contest. PEAKING TOM (3) spiked his figures winning his Maiden here by 1L. He settled back and there was a stack of merit in the effort. He's been freshened and the mile will hold no fears. Just has to hold the form to go close. JAY BEE ELL (5) has been racing well at the track since the Maiden win and raced favourite last time. Has been kept on the fresh side and is a chance. FLYBALL (8) is in the premier stable and was quickly back on track placing at Emerald this grade/trip as favourite. He's no world beater but this isn't hard and he will get every chance from the inside gate. NATIVE BEE (4) rates okay on his near miss at Gladstone. Has an awkward gate but the veteran should be around the mark.

The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Mackay Bm60 on September 12 over 1800m, 7 len behind The Penske File with 54.5kg at $15. Will give a sight.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Emerald 0 - 55 on September 23 over 1615m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Shy Rebel carrying 57kg at $11. The start before that eased back early on 6th of 10 at Gatton Bm60 on August 1 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Suprendre carrying 54kg at $51. Unreliable and needs to lift.
