ROCKY CREEK is taken to follow up last month's success at this venue. Admittedly that was over considerably further but a strong pace is assured here. He remains well treated on his best form and even more so after the third went on to win next time. Ericht is usually thereabouts but found lacking in a finish. It could be a similar story here. There were encouraging signs from Theatrical Star last time and he could add another valuable prize to his trainer's haul this season.
