Enigmatic seven-year-old Will I Rocknroll took full advantage of the prized No. 1 barrier when Stuart McDonald enjoyed an armchair drive in guiding him to an easy all-the-way win in the 2130m Farmlock Fencing Pace at Gloucester Park on Friday night.

Supporters of the $1.30 favourite had no concerns after Will I Rocknroll burst straight to the front and was not extended in winning from Angel In White ($6.50) and Alta Rhett ($7), rating 1.57.6 after final quarters of 29.2sec., 28.8sec. and 28.3sec.

“He is certainly a good horse on the rail,” said McDonald. “There was no real pressure, and he was able to cruise around at his own happy tempo. He was probably going better on the line that what he looked like. He was pretty casual and wasn’t going to let any horses go past him.”

Will I Rocknroll, who is prepared by Gary Hall Snr, was a smart winner over Typhoon Banner a week earlier, and he now has won at four of past eleven starts.

He has raced 38 times in Western Australia for six wins and five placings and boasts a career record of 72 starts for 17 wins, eleven placings and stakes of $170,555.
