Marway has set the scene for what could be Rockhampton racingâs most memorable week after he won breaking the track record on the Kensington course at Randwick, Sydney on Wednesday.
Now it is up to Queenslandâs super juvenile filly the Rockhampton-trained Sweet Dolly to bring the current unprecedented unabated euphoria to a crescendo by winning the $500K Jewel at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
If betting is any guide with Sweet Dolly the odds-on $1.50 favourite for the rich juvenile race over 1200 metres, Rockhampton racing will have reached new heights should she most likely win.

Queensland’s juvenile starlet Sweet Dolly passed her final gallop in preparation for Saturday’s $500K 2YO Jewel (1200m) at the Gold Coast in scintillating fashion early on Monday morning.
With race jockey Justin Stanley up, Rockhampton trainer Kevin Hansen chose to work the unbeaten filly on the grass course proper at Callaghan Park.
“I sent her out with stablemate, the open horse Casino Thoughts, with the idea for her to pick him up during the gallop but he pulled too hard so she never went with him,” Hansen said.

SPEED MAP
Tempo should be pretty solid. Marsannay will roll forward and look to hold the rail from barrier 1. Tim Clark will be positive from the outside draw aboard Peltzer to sit up on the speed. The likes of Harmony Rose, Lion s Roar and Here To Shock shouldn t be far away. Tactics aboard The Elanora and Prime Star will be interesting from out wide. The Elanora went back in the Hobartville over 1400m. Ba
