A trio of scratches brought the field for the second round down from 11 to eight. Trainer Casie Coleman-Herlihy’s students made up more than a third of the field and didn’t disappoint by taking three of the top four spots. Captaintreacherous colt Captainofrocknroll left from the centre of the gate to grab the early-lead for driver Bob McClure. The $50,000 Harrisburg graduate cut out fractions of :28.3, :57.3 and 1:25.4, before pacing home in :27.2 while holding off stablemate Twin B Edge by half a length for a 1:53.1 score.
