Rockhampton Race 4 - Wade Hunt It Hcp
DON PEDRO (5) is going well for the new yard winning his first try here fresh then beaten a nose last time at Toowoomba. Fitter for the longer trip and looks very well placed with the claim and the light weight. SCRUB CHAIN (6) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a nose, over 1560m at Mackay. Will drift back but wind up late. Leading contender. ASTRA STAR (4) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Townsville over 1400m. Has a solid record at this circuit. One of the contenders. PIPISTRELLE (1) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1600m at Doomben after showing good early speed. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PEPPERDINE (7) wasn't far away fresh and is a second-up winner who boasts a terrific record here.

Last start sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 15 at Doomben Bm78 on May 23 over 1600m, slow going 0.6 len behind Express Payment with 56kg at $26. The start before that 6th of 13 at Gold Coast Bm78 on May 9 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Daggers carrying 56.5kg at $19. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Sound top-three prospects again.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Mackay Hcp on May 23 over 1300m, 1.1 len behind Obligated with 57kg at $9. Before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Mackay Hcp May 1 over 1200m defeating Acrophobic carrying 55kg at $4.40. Not far away last time and worth including.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Townsville Hcp on May 8 over 1400m, slow going 0.6 len behind Smart Legend with 55kg at $3.80. The run before that 3rd of 7 at this track Mayors Cup on April 12 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Pride Of Venus with 55kg at $3.40. Overdue and shapes as one of the key chances.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.25 len at this track Bm70 May 5 over 1100m defeating Red Beauty with 59.5kg at $11. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Toowoomba Bm70 on May 16 over 1300m, nose behind Luton Hoo carrying 61kg at $9. Capable of a better showing. Racing well and with the light weight will be tough to beat.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Mackay Hcp on May 14 over 1560m, on a slow track; nose behind Journalism with 60kg at $1.60. The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 13 at this track Fitzroy Qlty on May 5 over 1300m, 1.75 len behind Demon Award carrying 52kg at $41. Just missed latest and can go one better.
