Home Hill Race 5 - Burdekin River Plate (C3)
BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (3) stepping out at this course for the first time. Last appeared when he finished seventh over 1300m at Mackay on June 11. Suited here and should be right in this. ASPEN COWBOY (2) worked home well and finished third last time over 1000m at Townsville when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort. GROVERS PREDICTION (5) resumed over 900m at Innisfail last start and she scored by one length. Should be further improved, can feature again. RISKY INVESTMENT (6) is stepping out at this course for the first time. Last appeared when he finished third over 1200m at Julia Creek on June 20. In the mix.

At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 12 at Mackay 3yo Qlty Hcp on June 11 over 1300m, 6 len behind Exodas with 59.5kg at $18. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at Townsville 3yo Hcp on May 31 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Toranaga carrying 62kg at $3.60. Can atone for a modest effort last time.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by 1.0 len at Innisfail Bm55 June 20 over 900m in the wet defeating Airborne Hotdog carrying 58.5kg at $3.70. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Townsville 0 - 55 on October 25 over 1000m, head behind Mister Doobee carrying 59.5kg at $10. Impressive on that occasion.
