Longreach Race 6

4Lg & West Fm Outback Racing Showcase Hcp

Prize Money: $15,000

BURDEKIN (4) has been thereabouts in all three runs this campaign and looks to be building up to another victory. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and must be respected from the Cavanough barn. Only needs some luck from the wide draw to be featuring in the finish. DEEP BREATH (2) has hit the top-five in all four runs this campaign and will be ready to peak now. Rates a genuine top-three contender on best form. PREFERRAL (9) was too bad to be true at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. SCORCHED LAND (3) disappointed supporters last time out when well in the betting but where there's smoke there's fire. Can bounce back. BITTERSWEET PLUCK (12) is a last-start victor who draws the inside alley. May earn some minor money.

Last start 7th of 9 at Cloncurry Botb Qual Hcp on May 31 over 1200m, 11 len behind Mr Metrics carrying 56kg at $2.80. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Barcaldine Cl6-Sw May 20 over 1300m on a soft track defeating Get What You Give with 60.5kg at $5. Worth forgiving and can turn things around.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at this track Bm55 May 11 over 1400m defeating Harch Road with 60kg at $4. Before that 2nd of 12 at Barcaldine Bm60 on May 3 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.1 len behind Valiant Joan carrying 57.5kg at $15. Has confidence back and worth thought again.
