Rockhampton Race 8

Sherrin Rentals 2025 The Archer

Stake: $1,080,000

The feature race on the card, the $1 million The Archer. IOWNA MERC (1) didn't measure up in the G1 Doncaster last time out but certainly wasn't disgraced beaten only five lengths. The form prior to that was very strong at Group 2 and 3 level and the stable is absolutely flying of late. Will prove tough to hold out. TRANSATLANTIC (5) won three of his past four before the spell and is drawn to sit up on speed from gate two. Can give backers a sight. SANDPAPER (4) has a handy record over this distance range with two wins and a second from four efforts. Can continue the rich vein of form. RUSTIC STEEL (3) resumes here but has tuned up for this with two recent trials and is a three-time winner when fresh. One to consider. HELL (9) goes well for Lang who has two wins and a placing from four rides. Keep safe.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently got back early 15th of 20 at Randwick in the G1 Doncaster on April 5 over 1600m, 5 len behind Stefi Magnetica carrying 52kg at $41. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Rosehill G2 Ajax March 15 over 1500m defeating Willaidow with 57.5kg at $11. Nicely placed and is ready for a bold showing.

Is first-up after a break of four-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before.

First up last campaign third of 8 at Eagle Farm Cl3 November 2 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Epic Proportions carrying 58kg at $3. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.0 len at Doomben Hcp April 1 over 1350m on a soft track defeating En Pointe carrying 53kg at $3.40. The run before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 at Kembla Grange Lillye - Bm94 on March 14 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind General Salute carrying 55kg at $9. Good each-way hope.

Second-up. First-up after four months 4th of 11 at Eagle Farm Hcp on April 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Compelling Truth carrying 54kg at $26. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Sunshine Coast Poly Noosa Cup Bm75 August 18 over 1400m defeating Vetta Velocita with 59.5kg at $3.80. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track Hcp March 15 over 1050m on a rain affected track defeating Doubting Eye carrying 58kg at $1.65. Second run from a spell gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 11 at Eagle Farm Hcp on April 5 over 1200m, slow going 1.0 len behind Compelling Truth with 52kg at $3.10. Looks hard to beat again.

Half-brother to Group 3 winner Inhibitions. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Eagle Farm Cl3-Sw on April 19 over 1400m, 0.9 len behind Merchant Gold carrying 58kg at $6.50. The race before that 2nd of 16 at Scone Nrth Wild Card on March 21 over 1400m, in the wet; 2.25 len behind Know Thyself with 56kg at $9. Meets a tougher field this time so looking to others.

Second-up. First-up after five months got back early 6th of 11 at Eagle Farm Hcp on April 5 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Compelling Truth carrying 60kg at $3.70. Previously second-up 6th of 15 at Caulfield Mares-Swp on September 21 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Kundalini with 57kg at $19. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Eagle Farm in the LR Daybreak Lover on April 19 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Boomtown Boss with 57kg at $16. The race before that got back early 9th of 13 at Eagle Farm 3yo Qlty on April 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Boomtown Boss with 54kg at $4.40. Prefer to see him back in form.
