Punters get good value odds for the Queensland meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:50) Ray White Rockhampton Handicap (1100m)

#4 - Ten Carat Lucy

BET NOW

Looking to cap off four consecutive placings with a win is Ten Carat Lucy, who scored on debut before showing excellent consistency.

The four-year-old mare by Exceedance should appreciate the small field, and although it’s not an easy race, she has plenty of upside.

Tommy Berry riding only adds to her appeal.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:25) Elders Commercial Handicap (1100m)

#3 - Switch the Stars

BET NOW

Switch the Stars was too good for them at Kilcoy last start when scoring by 6.3 lengths, which is a good form guide.

The three-year-old son of Sun City meets a tougher field here, but he has plenty of improvement to come following that victory.

With Angela Jones riding, he’ll get every chance in the run.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:00) DLV Finance Maiden (1200m)

#8 - Pulsating

BET NOW

Clinton Taylor lines up Pulsating, who comes off an improved second placing at Rockhampton.

The four-year-old daughter of Pierata is bred to improve with time, and she should appreciate the run under her belt.

Look for her to push forward and be tough to run down.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:39) Milne Bros BM58 (1300m)

#2 - Lonergy

BET NOW

Looking for back-to-back wins at Rockhampton is Lonergy, who scored by a length as a $14 chance.

The six-year-old son of Lonhro is a proven six-time winner from 42 starts, and he has 15 minor placings on his record.

We expect him to be tough to hold out at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:17) Frasers Livestock Transport BM70 (1100m)

#8 - Red Beauty

BET NOW

Red Beauty showed good speed last preparation when winning three of her last five starts.

The four-year-old mare by Extreme Choice owns three wins and two placings at Rocky, so her course record is excellent.

Daniel Stackhouse comes to ride, which should boost confidence levels.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:51) Bentleys Fitzroy Handicap (1300m)

#4 - Demon Award

BET NOW

Demon Award scored by a half-length at Mackay last time out and coming to Rockhampton won’t do his chances any harm.

The six-year-old son of Shamus Award owns a win and a placing from two starts at the track, and his confidence levels are up now.

It’s a big field, but he should give punters a sight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:32) The Archer (1300m)

#6 - Yellow Brick @ $4.00

BET NOW

Yellow Brick is a proven fresh up winner, and we’re not surprised to see money coming for the quality type.

He owns nine wins from 28 starts for more than $3.4 million in the bank, so he’s accustomed to winning big-money races in Queensland.

Take the each-way odds before late money comes for him.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:02) Paradise Lagoons Amateurs Cup BM65 (1600m)

#4 - Pulveriser

BET NOW

Enjoying a good campaign is Pulveriser, who kicked things off with back-to-back wins at Sunshine Coast.

The six-year-old son of Preferment hasn’t raced at Rockhampton before, but he’s a nice type, and his last-start second placing was good.

Punters should expect a tidy effort on Sunday.

Stake: 1 Unit
