Postponed, sire of Too Rough

Promising three-year-old Too Rough will get the chance to prove himself in Melbourne after passing his first distance test at Doomben.
The $32,000 first prize on Wednesday would have lifted Too Rough into the Queensland Derby field next week but trainer Bevan Laming said the gelding was not ready for top class just yet.
Too Rough ($6) appreciated a solid pace to finish powerfully to beat More Than A Rose ($7.50) by a short neck in the QTIS 3YO Hcp (2220m).
"He is a promising horse but he has wanted to over-race. Of course he hasn't been helped by drawing the outside barrier in just about all of his runs to date," Laming said.
"I think he can go to Melbourne where there should be some nice three-year-old races over a distance for him in June and July." -AAP
