Rockhampton Race 2 - Tab Hcp
OBLIGATED (5) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to be competitive in a race like this. Is a three-time winner over this sprint journey and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. DOUBTING EYE (2) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Has to be included in calculations. MEDIA EMPIRE (4) is a five-time winner here on his home circuit and will be cherry-ripe now fourth run back. Top-three credentials. EARLY FUSION (3) goes well for hoop Apel who has five wins and two placings from just ten steers. Again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim and can make his presence felt. CAPTAIN FOX (7) best of the rest.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start won by a nose at this track Hcp December 9 over 1050m defeating Heartoni carrying 56.5kg at $4.20. The race before that won by 1.75 len at this track Hcp November 28 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Track Tale with 54.5kg at $3.50. Going well enough to take this out.

Second-up. First-up after four months led to the turn then faded 5th of 7 at this track Hcp on December 9 over 1050m, 3 len behind Doubting Eye with 58kg at $2.60. Previously second-up favourite; won by 1.3 len at Mackay Bm70 May 8 over 1200m defeating Booming Lad carrying 60.5kg at $2.10. Fitter and is worth including.

At the latest run 7th of 11 at this track Hcp on December 18 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Track Tale with 54kg at $61. The run before that eased back early on 3rd in a small field at this track Hcp on November 28 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Doubting Eye with 52kg at $20. Maybe a place.
