Rockhampton Race 3 - Dick Sullivan Memorial Plate (C4)
MORNING SUN (2) gets the nod after putting away his rivals at Mackay with ease as favourite, and that came after a close third here. Proven at the trip he gets the claimer on to aid with the big weight. Can make it two on the trot. NEXT STOP JUPITER (8) is in red-hot touch and is the obvious danger, though this is her first look at the mile. Expect her to be the one they need to reel in. REMEMBER THE BOYS (5) is building an excellent record and deserves obvious consideration after taking care of his CL2 opposition here last time. Sure to be very competitive. INTREPID LAD (1) was no match for MORNING SUN last time but had beaten him at this track the run prior. Gets weight relief and reunites with Ashley Butler, who is two from two on him. Not dismissing.

Held his form when second in a BM60 at Mackay last start, beaten just under four lengths by Morning Sun after leading and being run down late on soft ground. Start prior he won a BM55 at this track, beating I Want It All by a neck, and Ashley Butler returns with a two-from-two record aboard. Morning Sun beat him clearly last time, so the place case is stronger than the win case.

Stamped himself as the horse to beat with a soft-ground BM60 win at Mackay, beating Intrepid Lad by just under four lengths as favourite despite home-turn interference. His previous third to Intrepid Lad at this track was sound after a mishap near the 400m, and his 1600m record includes one win and three placings. Proven at 1600m and clearly the one to beat.

Backs up quickly after a third in a BM55 at a picnic meeting on this track, beaten two and a half lengths, but this is harder company and he jumped awkwardly before laying in. His start prior fifth behind Intrepid Lad was honest enough from the rear, and the track-and-trip record is sound. A win would surprise.

Has a better distance setup after a last-start fourth in a BM60 at a picnic meeting on this track, where he jumped awkwardly and was beaten two and a half lengths with some support. Today's meeting is harder, but two back he won a BM55 at Twin Hills from Pampuni and he gets weight relief. A place looks the right lane.

Maintained his consistency with a Class 2 win at this venue last start, beating Out Of Aces by just over a length as an odds-on favourite, and he now comes back to an easier meeting. The run prior in BM65 grade was a narrow second behind King's Duty over 1400m. Easier meeting helps, though he profiles more each-way than standout.

Had excuses when fifth in a BM68 at this track last start, racing wide early before hitting the line from well back to be beaten just under four lengths at big odds. He is eased from provincial company, but the prior BM65 sixth behind King's Duty was plain after travelling into it. Still winless at this venue and looks a knockout hope only.

Has placed in both runs this campaign, most recently second in a BM60 at a picnic meeting on this track, beaten just under two lengths after doing a few things wrong. This is harder company and she was safely held by Next Stop Jupiter two back despite getting into the frame. Blinkers come off and the track-and-distance record is a plus. Deserves respect.

Arrives in terrific order after making it two straight with an Open win at Mackay over 1300m, holding off Trickemezi by a nose as favourite. She had also scored at this track in BM55 grade the start prior and her career profile is excellent, with four wins and three placings from nine starts. The new 1600m is the query, but her form keeps her right in it.
