Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Booming Lad, Under The Limit and Your Too Good. REVVED UP READY (6) was sent out at $15 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1300m at Gregory Downs. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. ODEGAARD (3) disappointed last time when 11th over 1300m at Rockhampton after a close second at Mackay the run prior. Better suited at this shorter trip so a bold showing is expected. BOOMING LAD (2) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1200m at Mackay. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. UNDER THE LIMIT (1) seasoned galloper who ran a solid race last time when half a length back in second over 1000m at Bowen. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Revved Up Ready to go on with it.
