Best Bet - Rockhampton Race 7
9
Princess Tenko $3.30
Princess Tenko was an impressive first-up winner.
The Real Impact mare was given a perfect ride, and she looks ready to explode over the 1300m on Friday.
She is undefeated second-up and has already tasted success at Callaghan Park.
From barrier eight, she will roll forward in search of the lead, and if she finds the front uncontested, she may prove hard to run down.
The 54kg is a luxury; she deserves her shot at this level.
Her record at the distance is the only query.
Enterprise Pomme will have supporters after a consistent campaign.
The Spill The Beans mare will appreciate the significant class drop, and her recent performance at Ipswich was better than it reads in the form guide.
The soft track conditions play into her favour, and she should be rock-hard fit at this stage of her preparation.
It may pay dividends to watch for any significant market support.

Vitae $13.00/$3.70
Vitae was a dominant last-start winner at Gladstone.
The Your Song mare is in career-best form, and she finds her pet distance on Friday.
From barrier one, she can camp on the leader’s back, and if the gaps appear at the right time, I expect her to figure in the finish.
The rising six-year-old should have the fitness edge on her rivals, and there has been good market support for her in early betting.
The allocated weight is her biggest obstacle.
Boho Beauty is too consistent to dismiss.
The Spirit Of Boom mare caught the eye of punters last start, and she looks well placed here, meeting easier opposition.
Her city form reads incredibly well for this event, and I expect her to figure in the finish with even luck in transit.
The carpark draw may determine her fate early.

Better Be Lucky $20.00/$5.00
Better Be Lucky produced a teasing run on debut.
The Better Than Ready gelding got too far out of his ground during the middle stages, and he was never a realistic chance of winning.
Once the bird had flown, he charged home like a freight train inside the final furlong.
The step out in distance second-up is ideal, and if he brings his manners to the races, he can win at a decent price.
He may need another run under his belt!
Yandoobie is ready to win.
The Artie Schiller gelding has filled the minor placings on five occasions, and he chased home a smart one fresh.
The drop back to 1300m could prove a masterstroke, and he looks poised to strike from an inside draw.
He needs to convert narrow defeats into victories.
