GOING: G(3)

BUNDABERG RUM OPEN Handicap - WEIGHTS RAISED 3KG 1350m Track: GOOD3 Clear (Max: 16) Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 5.89).
Good early pace with Rockribbed crossing to apply some pressure. ROCKRIBBED (4) is in great form, leading and lifting strongly to score narrowly last start to make it two wins in succession. That saw him unbeaten at this track and trip and he finds another suitable assignment so can maintain that perfect record. EXCELLADUS (3) hasn't been too far away in Sydney of late, last start boxing on for fourth over 1400m at Rosehill. Maloney rides so can measure up. NED'S GULLY (6) draws the inside and owns a solid second-up record so can progress off the good fresh effort when beaten less than a length. SECRET PLAN (5) was just a nose off Rockribbed last start to follow a Rosehill win. Draws well so must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rockribbed to maintain the unbeaten record at the course and distance.
