FRAME RURAL AGENCIES OPEN Handicap 1050m
Race detailsRUSH HOUR looking to make it four in a row after another win at Maxwelton last start and won all previous races as a favourite, rates a long way in front. TESTATOR SILENS on a five day back-up and won two of three as a favourite, cannot be ruled out. HIGHGROUND has multiple wins at Blackall and keep an eye on a Mark Oates trained horse, dangerous. SOOPAT coming off a win at Moranbah when first up and from a strong camp, chance to place.
