GOING: G(4)

PAT OGDEN MEMORIAL TREE OF KNOWLEDGE/OUTBACK RACING SHOWCASE - HEAT - OPEN Handicap 1600m Track: GOOD 3 Rail: True.
Lots of pace on paper so expect a genuine tempo. BUNGARRIBEE LAD (3) was runner-up at Rockhampton last start and is stepping up to a mile for the first time. Liam Birchley seldom treks his horses to this circuit and even from a wide gate, he is good enough to take them all the way here. On top. MOTION LEGEND (6) was a beaten favourite on a soft track at the Sunshine Coast nearly 3 weeks ago and has since changed stables. He will be suited to a firmer surface and will find this easier than his last run. There will be no concerns with his fitness and from a superior gate, he can take this out. Follow your money. VICTORY BAY (7) has 2 picnic class wins to his credit from only 4 starts this prep, including his last start at Blackall. He has 3.5 kilos less to carry this time and can measure up again. Stick with him. HEYINGTON STATION (2) has been placed twice since winning at Longreach last month and is in a good space. Each-way. THINK HIGH (4) has won twice over a mile in the past which is an advantage in this lineup. Goes close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bungarribee Lad to win.
