A sparingly raced five-year-old and one of the more underrated country sprinters is set to return with a bang in the feature sprint at Muswellbrook on Monday.

Outback Ringer ($3.90 equal favourite on TAB), a smart gelded son of Outreach in the Brett Cavanough stable at Scone, resumes in a strong edition of the Benchmark 82 Summer Sizzler over 1000m to close the meeting.

On a Heavy 9 surface following 9mls of overnight rain, Outback Ringer hasn't started since early August when finishing a winter prep out of the placings in a feature BM 85 sprint at Dubbo.

Earlier he had begun the campaign with a dominant BM 64 win at home in heavy ground, although subsequent runs didn't live up to connections' plans.

Outback Ringer is renowned for coming to hand in a heartbeat and despite having no official trials leading up has reportedly been working well.

Outback Ringer will have plenty of challengers including six-year-old stablemate Two ya Got ($6) who is also first-up since spring without publicly trialling.

Throw in Yukan Rose ($3.90 equal favourite) who is chasing a third win from four starts this prep and Standing Bear ($7) and the Sizzler threatens to be a hot formline.

Smart filly Pensativa ($1.65 favourite) tackles the Horse Power Class 1 Handicap (1450m) fourth-up for the Lou Mary stable.
