Andrew Dale Racing can’t wait to be racing on home turf for the second time in two weeks today.
After a successful race day at Wangaratta on May 2 which saw the win of Three Musketeers, four gallopers will grace the magnificent turf on what shapes as a great day’s racing.
Rockbarton Shout has been in magnificent touch and looks the stable’s best of the day.
Her last start third at Wangaratta in a benchmark 64 was solid and she drops in grade this time around to a benchmark 58 (race seven), jumping from an ideal gate four.
She’s been a super pick up for ADR, winning four races, along with five placings from 11 outings since crossing to the team.
“Rockbarton Shout comes back in grade and has been in some really good form,” Dale said.
“She ran in a really strong benchmark 64 last start from a wide gate and ran third behind Ben Brisbourne’s Runlikeencryption who looks like a handy horse.
“She’s got a good draw this time around and if she can put herself on the speed she’ll go close.”
Another interesting watch will be More Importance who returns from a spell off the back of a jump out win.
The five-year-old gelding will be partnered with Cory Parish from gate two race seven.
“More Importance returns from a spell so it’ll be good to get him back to the races,” Dale said.
“We could’ve started him in a lower grade but we thought we’re on the home track and he races well at Wangaratta.
“His jump out was also really positive.”
Youngster Jingu Express has banging on the door of a maiden win and will feature in race four.
“It’s a stronger maiden this time around but she’s been going pretty well,” Dale said.
“We’ve swapped jockey’s this time around, Zac Spain comes on board – we just thought we’d change it up and see what happens, through no fault of Cory Parish’s.”
Matter Most (race four) and Wagunda (race six) will also run.
