Verdict

NAROBI (5) could only manage to finish eighth at her latest appearance over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park, failing to live up to market expectations. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. AMERICAN BOXER (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 17 metres at Mildura over 1 ¹/16m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. ULTIMATE ROCKER (7) ended last prep with a third at Mildura over 1 5/16m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. ROCKNROLL RAIDER (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park last time out.

5	Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1m after showing early speed and racing wide at Globe Derby Park, beaten 21 m by The Reginator (2:12.00) in NR 44 to 51 on December 1 at $1.60. The start before 5th (Sr1) over 1m at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 5th-7.6m 3WNC beaten 12 m by Cyclone Brenda (2:46.00) in 4yo+ NR 44 to 49 on October 4 at $1.55. Worth another chance. Certainly up to this and expected to atone. 1st Pick 5 Narobi Jockey: Wayne Hill Trainer: P C Bain J: Wayne Hill T: P C Bain	77	-	-	-	56%	4/5

8	Five-year-old entire who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 4th (Fr5) over 1 ¹/16m after showing early speed at Mildura, at the bell was 2nd-0.14 beaten 17 m by Midnight Pirate (2:09.80) in NR 50 to 55 on December 30 at $10. Not out of this despite the second-row draw. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run. 2nd Pick 8 American Boxer Jockey: Ryan Backhouse Trainer: Naomi Kerr J: Ryan Backhouse T: Naomi Kerr	73	-	-	-	17%	5/1
