This will be a keen early contest, with Parko and Masterplan prominent. The $200,000 Battle Of The Bush. THE CARPENTER (11) has hit a purple patch of form this preparation stringing four wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence. Hoopert is two from two in the saddle and drawn to get a gun run from gate five. Looks the one they all have to run down. PARKO (9) has won two from four this campaign and has placed over this track and trip. Right in this. ART BY CONCORDE (2) is one from one over this course and distance and has a solid winning strike rate. Has to be included. MASTERPLAN (15) has been thereabouts in recent efforts and may earn some minor money. JACK BE LUCKY (12) loves this journey and can trouble the judge with any luck in running. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Carpenter to continue the picket fence.
