ROCKBARTON FLASH (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten only 1.1 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THE BENTLEY (3) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Sure to prove tough to stop. REBEL RHAPSODY (7) was out of the money when resuming but has since been on the money on two consecutive occasions, the latest when third over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Will find this a little easier than last time. Capable of testing this field. FIGHTING DAUGHTER (10) turned in a strong run last time when she settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only half a length into third over 7f at Coffs Harbour. Will be doing her best work late.
