Rockhampton
Verdict
COOL ENCOUNTER (1) caught the eye with a strong late finish fresh up here 11 days ago, finishing fourth in his first start from the successful Clint Taylor stable. He will relish the extra furlong and is dropping right down in grade. Watch for him to have the last say this time. STREET GOD (5) will be peaking third up from a spell and has the winkers replacing the blinkers. He doesn't want it too wet and has top hoop Ryan Wiggins back in the saddle this time. Hard to beat. NORTHUMBRIA (4) raced up to win here 10 days ago and only peaked on his run late after hitting the front, finishing second. He is having his third start for a new trainer, and his first local win is not far away. MONEY MAN (8) has not won for some time and is meeting a very even field here. Justin Huxtable picks up the ride, and from a handy gate, the pair merits healthy respect.
