Free Horse Racing Tips & Best Bets for Rockhampton 21/12/2023

Unlikely Hero is the one to watch in the opener. This gelding’s last two starts at Rockhampton have been eye-catching, finishing a close second on both occasions. His recent trial, since these runner-up finishes, suggests he’s maintained form and fitness. A key point is his familiarity with the track conditions at Rockhampton, which could give him a tactical advantage over his competitors today.

Trained by J H Manzelmann, appears to be a strong contender in the second race. Her recent performances, though not top finishes, have shown a consistent level of competitiveness. The key here is the combination of Manzelmann’s training and Ryan Wiggins’ riding, which could prove beneficial given the mare’s racing style and the track conditions.

Janean steps into the third race with a bit of a point to prove. Her recent outings have been decent, but it feels like she’s yet to show her full potential. What stands out is her ability to handle different track conditions, which could play a significant role in today’s race. The key factor for her will be how she adapts to the pace of the race and utilizes her experience on this track. I think she will today.

Art By Concorde is the one to beat in the fifth race. His recent form is hard to fault, with a string of impressive performances. What’s notable is his adaptability to varying race lengths and conditions. Today’s race seems well suited to his strengths, and with Paul Hamblin aboard, there’s a sense that this gelding could really capitalize on his recent form and deliver a standout performance.
