Verdict

THE ROCKET (8) trialled well coming into his debut but didn't fire a shot before heading back for a break. He's again shown promise this time in work and looks poised for a bold effort first-up. Chris Parnham hops back aboard and if he can run up to his trial efforts, he'll be hard to hold out. ICANDOIT ONMYOWN (6) went through to the Belmont Guineas in the winter after building nicely in her efforts prior. Her latest trial was good at Lark Hill and the 7lbs claim gets her in nicely at the weights. Can return on a positive note. SOUND OF SPEED (5) missed in a photo first-up at this track and trip before a 1.5L defeat here just last week. The 7lbs claim comes in handy and he'll be on the speed once again. Will take some catching third-up. BRAVE APACHE (2) bolted in fresh before a 1.7L defeat at Albany last time out. Tougher here but he's building nicely this campaign. KING'S DRAMA (4) is better than we've seen his past couple and is not to be discounted.
