After finishing fifth in a six-horse field in his only start in a TwoYear-Old Handicap (1204m) in May, the Darren Weir-trained three-yearold Rockstar Rebel scored a narrow but promising first up win here. He settled in seventh place on the rails but was shuffled back nearing the home turn before getting a split on straightening. He then came with a strong late finish to grab a really good win. He is a horse to watch. The Robbie Griffiths-trained Fast Stryke was slowly away and was then trapped deep. He raced to the front on turning for home and then held on well after a hard run for a good second.
