GOING: S(5)

Bogie River OPEN Plate (Set Weights) 1000m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Cracking tempo with Viburnum and Roweiner's Dance leading the way. ROWEINER'S DANCE (4) was well in commission last start over 900m at Innisfail when sixth. Distance specialist with 14 wins and five minor placings from 25 runs and is expected to be in the finish. NORTHERN PRIDE (3) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1100m at Mackay. Looks a strong prospect. VIBURNUM (5) comes here off a last-start fourth, only beaten 0.7 lengths, over 1100m at Julia Creek. Has a good record at this journey and is a hope. RUBY CHICKS (6) was safely held when resuming over 1000m at Townsville, finishing ninth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Is a second up winner in the past and can give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roweiner's Dance win.

Second-up. First-up after three months 9th of 11 at Townsville Bm70 on June 16 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Almighty Jab carrying 58kg at $26. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at Cairns Bm70 March 26 over 950m on a heavy track defeating Machine Head with 59kg at $5. Is a second up winner in the past but this looks a bit rich.
