Hughenden Race 5 - Hughenden Cup
GO GETABOY (1) has been thereabouts lately, the latest finishing a 2.75 lengths ninth at Mackay over 1300m. The winkers are removed now and looks a top chance in this. BURDEKIN (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at Ilfracombe after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HANG FIVE (3) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1200m at Winton after a nice win the start prior. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BADGE (7) scored by half a length two starts back over 1700m on dirt at Alpha then again saluted, this time on turf, over 1600m at Barcaldine. Rates highly and is worth including.
