Rockhampton greyhound preview & racing tips | Wednesday, 24/1/24
Rockhampton is set to host an 11-race program on Wednesday night from 6:57PM local time. The meeting is headlined by the Rockhampton Australia Day Trophy Final. This year’s edition has attracted a cracking field, with the likes of Sir Banjo, Rybolt, and City Way featuring.
Race 1: Cane Smoke (1)
Cane Smoke will be looking to break his maiden tag on Wednesday night. The son of Whiskey Riot has raced twice over this track and trip without much joy. On debut, he began fairly and was instantly run off the track by dogs drawn underneath. His second start was much the same. He gets the benefit of box one and can make use of a favourable map with a quick beginning. Both Joy Sure Can and Sweet Lollipop, drawn outside him, are risky beginners who like to shift off the track, which will allow Cane Smoke the time and space required to lead this race.
Best Bet
Race 1 –
Form: 54 | Career: 2 0-0-0 | Trainer: Michael Boody
Race 3: Bossy Miss Bliss (2)
Bossy Miss Bliss appears capable of turning the tables on Cosmo Sterling. The daughter of Fernando Bale hails from an extremely successful litter, and she showed her true ability two starts ago when returning from a three-month break with an outstanding victory over track and trip. She drew box seven last start and was unable to cross her inside competitors. Despite this, she never gave up, as she hit the line well for third. She will be better suited to the low draw, and she has the speed to kick through underneath her main rival, Cosmo Sterling.

Race 6: Roger Ring (1)
Roger Ring has recently relocated to Central Queensland and will take plenty of benefit from his first up run in the region. The son of Zambora Brockie was having his first official start over the Rockhampton 407m last week, finishing fourth in 24.39. He has sizzled around both the 315m and 460m at Bundaberg as well as the 395m at Albion Park. He’s drawn well in box one with a vacant box outside, as well as Candyman in box three, who won’t crash down to the fence. Expect Roger Ring to kick underneath his outside rivals, find the lead, and be extremely hard to run down.
