Muswellbrook Race 8

Muswellbrook Cup Day Dec 15 Max 150 Points

Stake: $1,204

HOT RIO NIGHTS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (20.43) last time in a Grade 5 at Grafton. Tough to beat if on-song. MADAM GARTH (3) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 19.61 beating Tessie's Girl. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Form should stack up. IRONIC AUSSIE (2) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 6 lengths away in third (20.08) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 340m. Overdue and gets her chance. ZEBRA STRIPES (8) can find the frame without surprising.

Last start finished 4th on November 26 over 350m at Grafton behind Pin Up beaten 5.5 lengths (20.43) in a Grade 5. Good beginner and should go close off the inside draw.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 6 length third over 340m Gunnedah in 20.08. This appears within her reach.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 340m at Gunnedah. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Missed the frame last time when fifth (17.78) at Taree Super Track. Prior to that had been racing well. Drawn out wide and will need everything to go his way.
