Race 4 — Patlaw Securities Hcp (C2) 1600m · jumps

Race preview

Welcome to Rockhampton for the Patlaw Securities Hcp (C2) over 1600m on a soft 6 track with overcast skies, set to jump at 4:54 pm AEDT. Looking at how punters are treating the win market, Remember The Boys heads the betting order, followed closely by Red Feathers, Out Of Aces, I Want It All, and Launch Mode rounding out the pack. It is shaping up as a fascinating tactical battle across the mile.

Taking a closer look at the form for the market principals, Remember The Boys jumps from barrier 3 for trainer Jason Morgan with Raul Silvera Olivera in the saddle, coming off a gritty second here over 1400m after being scrubbed up early to lead. The sectional data suggests this runner goes hard early and rates strongly on recent figures. Meanwhile, Out Of Aces starts from barrier 5 for trainer Ms M Skillington and jockey Nikki Olzard, boasting a hot jockey and trainer combination that is outperforming market expectations. Out Of Aces went home tamely at this venue last time out over 1400m, but with the extra distance and stripping fitter, a sharp improvement wouldn't shock.

For those hunting further value down the order, Darryl Johnston saddles up I Want It All from barrier 2 with Sean Cormack steering, arriving off a narrow second over this exact 1600m trip at this course. The map suits this off-pace runner nicely. On the other hand, Red Feathers is drawn in barrier 1 for Alisha Taylor and Chris Mc Iver, looking to bounce back after a modest effort over this track and trip when fancied by some. It all adds up to a cracking yarn for punters sorting through the form lines.

AAP

Went home just tamely this venue at $21. Stripping fitter, win wouldn't shock.

ILB

Got going late when 4th last run at this track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Very capable of taking this out.

RP

Has won previously at this course; can be a player at this level; not disgraced in fourth over 7f here (handicap) two weeks ago when just behind Remember The Boys; looks likely to be involved if finding his best form.

RSIS

Made ground when closing off to finish 4th last time here. Shows good early pace. Should go well.

AAP

Ears scrubbed off early to cross and lead but kept on bravely for the minors. Leader. Has some good results here. Rates highly.

ILB

Overrun late when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Looking sharp on the track this preparation. Has every chance.

RP

Favourite and just beaten here over 7f (handicap) 15 days ago; has won at this course; clear chance.

RSIS

Grabbed towards the finish when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at the track. Has shown early pace in races to date. In fine form since returning from a break. Great chance.

Form sound. Narrowly beaten in the small field this course over this trip. A few runs under her belt this campaign, right in the mix again.

ILB

Was agonizingly close last run here. Represents value.

RP

Has been fairly consistent lately; missed out by a head 15 days ago.

RSIS

Just shy of the win last run here.

First-up (19-weeks). Lone career win was over 1200m at Rockhampton in last campaign. Went close in Maiden company at Mackay first-up last campaign. Can fill the minors here fresh in this company.

ILB

Back from a break. Came in 9th last start at Townsville but will appreciate a good alley. Stepping up in distance.

RSIS

Racing fresh after a break. Came in 9th last run at Townsville but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Stepping up in trip.

Modest performance this track when fancied over this trip. Could spring a surprise.

ILB

Jumped at $2.70 and outpaced some runners late when 4th last start at this venue and has a positive barrier. Always seems to find the line well. Best to watch and see.

RP

She can be competitive at this level; not far behind I Want It All when fourth 15 days ago.

RSIS

Started at 7/4 and kept chasing when 4th last time around here and has a positive stall. Have to respect the recent Alisha Taylor form.

Comments

AAP

Dropped out to last and never sighted this course. Needs to up his game.

ILB

Was $201.00 and weakened under pressure when 12th last run at this track but coming back up in distance. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Not interested today.

RP

A few throw outs since his success in a handicap at Hillston in April; finished last of 12 over 6f here (handicap) two weeks ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Was 200/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 12th last time at this track but returning to an increased distance. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
