Rockhampton Race 6 - C & R Communications Hcp
OBLIGATED (5) is a well-performed sprinter who was quickly back in the winners' stall over 1200m at Townsville ($2.0F). Has won 2/4 second-up and maps for the run of the race. Has more to give and can go back-to-back. TRACK TALE (2) placed here heavily bet first up and then came back 49 days ago and delivered over 1200m from the speed. Has been kept up to the mark with a 1000m trial win at the track and draws to advantage. Has a 2kg claim today and that brings him into it. TIZSO FAB (10) has been flying at 65 level and the speedy galloper tumbles in weight. He's also been freshened and can't be ruled out. JOURNALISM (6) has been mixing trips but is a capable galloper worth consideration.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run won by 2.5 len at this track Bm65 December 18 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Darling Clementine with 61kg at $2.90. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at this track Bm65 November 3 over 1300m defeating Woodstock Rock with 59kg at $5. Going well and can't be ruled out.
