Comments: Grafton 1-2 Montana Hilton won here three runs ago, was then beaten narrowly in the big mile race at Ballina before sitting deep and being beaten less than 3 lengths in an R0 race in Brisbane. Only has to repeat that form to win this. Rockhampton 3-2 Carry The Clubs is a really nice type with 3 wins and 2 2nds from only 5 runs. He was a comfortable winner first up after striking interference at the start and he really should just about get home again. Rockhampton 5-8 Me Here was a beaten 7/4 favourite in the race won by Solar Secret here 11 days ago. He was a bit flat footed that day but he had dropped back in distance from two 1200m runs to a 1000m event so the step back up to six furlongs should see him go close. Rockhampton 7-1 Riverlea Crown frutrated connections by taking 6 runs to break his duck since he was purchased from Victoria but he did it in style and this doesn't look an overly strong race so he'll be in the finish. The POOMAs have been on a poor trot lately but it's entirely possible that we can get 3 winners up today so fingers crossed.
