Salisbury Tips: Third Rock

Salisbury Tips: Third Rock

Took off in the final furlong last time, despite finding trouble and should relish the step up in trip.

Third Rock messed up the start at Nottingham and then made laboured progress for much of the race. At face value he looks a moderate horse until you focus on the final furlong.

In a race run on the slow side of an even gallop, Third Rock was never likely to make much headway from rear but he started to make rapid progress in the final furlong. Unfortunately, Stevie Donohoe found trouble and his run was halted but nevertheless he clocked the second fastest closing sectional.


His speed rating was nothing special (62) but his performance was screaming for a step up in trip, which he gets in the 8.20 Salisbury.

Sir Michael Stoute’s horses often improve for the run and he’s also gone for a first time visor. If Third Rock is to win a little race then this is the one.
