Rochallor can build on an encouraging debut when contesting the HPM Legrand-Hills-Electra Maiden at Wyong.
Rochallor steps up to a mile after a second on debut at Kembla Grange over 1300m.
The gelding on that occasion was prominent throughout and lack of race experience probably told over the concluding stages when edged out by the more seasoned turbulence.
23 days later, Rochallor steps up to a mile in the HPM Legrand-Hillds-Electra Maiden.
The second race at Wyong shapes as a useful contest with a few main hopes however Rochallor looks to profile best in the event.
Stepping up to a mile is key for the gelding and from barrier 3, should either lead or settle outside of it.
Winona Costin’s 1.5kg claim offsets his weight nicely and even beforehand, came in well under set weight maiden conditions.
If able to set a slow pace, expect Rochallor to take some catching.
Envision looks an obvious danger after running third at Newcastle over 1500m last start.
She was hitting the line well and should appreciate rising to a mile.
The daughter of Hard Spun should enjoy all of the favours in behind the leaders from barrier 1 and expect the three-year-old to make her presence felt at the finish.
Apocalypto has finished second in each of his two career starts, the latest at Newcastle in the same race as Envision ran third in.
He now meets Envision a half kilo worse off at the weights.
The winner from that race, Rustic Melody, has since performed well again at Newcastle so form out of the race is looking useful.
Rhatigan could be a value player third run from a spell after placing at Kembla Grange.
Rochallor however is the clear top pick however in the HPM Legrand-Hillds-Electra Maiden (1600m) at Wyong on Thursday.
