The Rockhampton Jockey Club hosts a seven-race program on Thursday afternoon from 1.52pm, where the track is currently rated Good (4) and the rail is in the True position.
We've taken a look at a Runner To Watch in each race.
Race 1
2. Extra Cover
Will appreciate a drop in grade after not being disgraced in BM75 company last-start. Split Townsville Guineas winner Barbados Storm and Aloof's Turf here two starts back.
Others To Watch
1. Aloof's Turf
3. Murphy's Hustler
4. Shortspresso
Race 2
1. Our Top Shelf
This boy is flying. He put a gap on Legal Ties last-start when proving strong late. This race looks no harder. The one to beat.

WILPEENA CATTLE CO QTIS Three-Years-Old Class 3 Handicap 1200m
Former NSW runner having his third start for Jamie McConachy. Flew home at Townsville two-starts back and should improve on last-start third behind Now Ask Me and Craiglea Cetina.

GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND AWARDS NIGHT SAT 15 SEPT Class 2 Plate 1400m
Improving with every run this prep and will be primed to strike third-up. Will have to jump from the outside gate but has in-form jockey Ryan Wiggins on board.
Finished third despite an alarming betting drift when in similar company last start. However, should be able to utilise the inside draw to find a position on-speed.
Will have to carry weight but drops back to the right grade here. Finished 4L off Bound To Me last start, and was a close 2nd to the airborne Beraht two starts back. Broke through at Hawkesbury in May before beaten only 2.9L in BM75 company at Canterbury.
