Pakenham Synthetic Race 4 - Happy 50th Ro'ket Mdn Plate
ROCK CATCHER (10) on top, having her first run in Australia for the Greg Eurell yard. She'd shown some ability in New Zealand, runner up at Awapuni Synthetic before coming here. Kicks off at a good trip and notably gets Damian Lane aboard, should be ready to run well. MISS SHIINO (9) was disappointing here second up over 1600m but had run well at big odds fresh. Drawn to get back but should be steaming home. BIVVY (2) ran a solid race on debut on heavy going at Moe when well supported. Onto firmer footing here can see him improve quickly. BOLSHIE (3) is a 24 start maiden who put in a good effort last start at Cranbourne, now fresh for the drop in trip. Rough hope.

He is resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 9 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw March 22 over 1600m, soft track; 10 len behind Wentworth Falls carrying 59kg at $9.50. On debut sixth of 12 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw March 5 over 1400m, 7 len behind Labelmaker with 59kg at $71. Might be better off following this outing.
