Rockhampton betting tips – Friday, January 29
Friday racing in Queensland heads to the Beef Capital at Rockhampton for eight races. The track is currently a Soft 5, but we expect to see an upgrade by race day. The rail is in the true position for the entire course and the first race will jump at 1:57pm local time.
Best Bet: Fast Song
Lightly raced five-year-old Fast Song will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the last race of the day. Ashley Butler retains the ride, which is a positive given he is one from one on the Your Song gelding and a strong front-running rider. From barrier 10, he’ll go forward over the 1050m and look to burn the candle at both ends. The form around him has been decent enough to have him right in this.
Race 8 – Fast Song (#4)[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1360173_08]
Next Best: Yarralinda
While this is the toughest field the Tom Smith-trained Yarralinda has faced to date, she continues to improve and has put in big efforts to win three from five starts. She does have the big weight at 60.5kg, but Dan McGillivray’s 3kg claim should compensate for that. The two-year-old filly will be able to stalk the speed from barrier three and should prove too good again. The main danger comes from Kashkar, who is trained by Tom’s father, Fred Smith.
Race 1 – Yarralinda (#1)[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1360173_01]
Best Value: Boss Baby
Peter Fleming and Justin Stanley combine in the penultimate race with Boss Baby, who maps to get all of the favours from barrier two. She has run into some of these at her last couple of starts, but the form she brings into this around Bold Hunter and Perfect Knowledge looks slightly superior. This is her pet distance at the 1050m, and the speed on will suit her thanks to the likes of Belzu, Arnwood and Ararrac. If Stanley can save his pennies for one last crack at them, we are confident Boss Baby can get the job done.
