Mackay Race 1

Sky Racing Mackay Classic Hcp

Prize Money: $35,000

THE BARBER (1) settled back before coming home strongly to score on debut over 1200m at Rockhampton a week ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. WASABI BARBIE (2) showed enough early doors to consider third-up. Looked a run short first up at Rockhampton backed off the map and was then outgraded in a rich Classic QTIS 2yo Plate at the track. Expect sharp improvement in this company. DAZZLING GEISHA (4) is third up and can show more for the top Rockhampton yard. Was well bet the latest but over-raced on speed. Will be ridden more quietly today on a 7-day return. BLESSED BOOM (3) won here this grade over 1100m and can build on that.

Last start second last of 7 at Rockhampton 2yo Mdn on April 24 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind The Barber with 56.5kg at $3.50. The race before that 8th of 12 at Rockhampton Cap Yrlng 2yo on April 12 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind Swift Dragon with 55kg at $71. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves consideration.
