Karl Burke is very much a trainer to have on your side in races of this nature and he can strike again with He's A Rocket, who gets the nomination over Azuree, Feminist and Rock Fever, who all have fair claims at this level. Rock Fever is in good heart at present and is weighted to reverse the Warwick form with Azuree today. Five furlongs is also in her favour and she is one to carefully monitor in the betting. Azuree has each-way claims on the best of her efforts but can be a little unreliable at times. She can ruin her chances by pulling hard in the early stages and George Baker is going to have to work hard to earn his fee this afternoon. Feminist edged a narrow verdict from the selection when they met here last month and is obviously respected on that effort. However, she has been woeful in her last two outings and now has a little to prove. Therefore, we stick with He's A Rocket, who is as reliable as one can expect of a selling grade contender and is fancied to deliver the goods again in this company.
