Trainer Tom Button has caught the country features bug and hopes to be back in Brisbane for the $105,000 Country Stampede Final at Doomben in December.

Tom Button, a former premiership winning jockey and trainer in his younger days when based in Rockhampton, now trains at Bowen in north Queensland after having previous training stints at the Gold Coast.

He will head to his home track on Tuesday with a three-pronged attack in the Open Handicap over 1200 metres with Northern Pride, Under The Limit and Dillinger.

He also has a strong hand in the Class Three Plate with Head Honcho, who he rates as one of the best sprinters in his stable.

Button is yet to saddle a starter in the Country Stampede Final which kicks off again this year with the first qualifying heat at Ewan on September 26.

The 37-year-old conditioner got the taste for Racing Queensland's popular country features when Under the Limit finished second in the Battle Of The Bush Final at Eagle Farm in June.

Under The Limit is coming off a last start fourth to the Roy Chillemi-trained Valenki in a 1200-metre Open at Townsville earlier this month.

"He's racing in good form but it was a level up for him last time and he drew badly," Button said.

"He couldn't get to the front when he wanted to but he still tried hard."

Button plans to target the Country Stampede qualifying races with Under The Limit who finished second in the Batlle Of The Bush Final at Eagle Farm in June.

"I've never sent one down for the Country Stampede Final but I've had plenty in the Country Championships," he said.

"The Stampede might be a fraction short but his run was good in the Battle of The Bush Final so he'll be given his chance to qualify."

Button has given his preference to Under The Limit over stablemates Northern Pride and Dillinger.

Northern Pride finished a brave fourth in the Cleveland Bay in Townsville and Newmarket Handicap in Cairns before his lates Townsville placing.

"He'll be hard to beat but he's got a big weight, so at the weights I have to favour Under The Limit," he said.

"Dillinger is a stayer just starting off his preparation and all my horses only has to walk across the road to have a start."
