Will Rogers Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn
ROKKET SCIENTIST (10) has switched yards since finishing second three-and-a-half weeks ago over 274m at this track. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. HANG TIGHT HONEY NH (7) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 229m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MS SOUTHERN GRACE (2) is still a maiden after six starts but was placed at this track (Dirt) when resuming before finishing sixth here last start. Don't underestimate. PHUN LOVIN (6) worked home well and finished third last time over 229m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.

Second run back. First-up after three months held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on October 4 over 274m, 1.0 len behind Secret Pursuit with 56kg at $10.30. Previously second-up ran last of 8 in Listed grade at Fair Meadows at Fair Meadows on June 13 over 320m, 11 len behind Royal Bloodline carrying 57kg at $15.60. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
