Burdekin Vet Services

Prize Money: $2,800

MY MACHINE (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Gunnedah over 340m behind Payne Cargo (19.92) in a Free For All. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Ready to return to form. RACCOON ROGER (3) missed the frame latest (22.15) when fourth over 380m at this track in a Grade 2/3. Already a winner from this draw. Among the main chances. SWING SHIFT (7) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (21.94) at this track in a Grade 3/4 over 380m. Likely to be in the finish. NEED A TOW (8) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Finished second at big odds last time (21.85) over 380m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.
