ROUGHIE

I’m not rapt in the wide draw for this Toowoomba-trained sprinter but he put in such a good run at Eagle Farm last start, I just have to have something each-way at the price. He sat four deep without cover up on the speed throughout when entitled to fade in the straight. He had none of that, though, and fought on well right to the line to be beaten just over a length by Straturbo.
