Muswellbrook Race 4

Harvest Restaurant Denman

Stake: $1,402

BEST EVER (8) has a superb record at this track and trip, unbeaten so far from three starts. Placed last time (25.04) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. RIPPER LANE (7) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (23.22) from Box 6 at Maitland over 400m. Has ability and can atone. DEVEREUX (4) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with five wins and a placing from 10 tries. Was out of the placings last time (19.93) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. PAVLOV BALE (3) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 388m at Gosford. Will be tested in this company.

Comments

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fifth in a Grade 4 on December 23 over 340m at Gunnedah behind Nali, beaten 6 lengths (20.54). Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Didn't make the placings last time at Maitland (25.66) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from nine starts. Others rate better this time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 336m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Latest effort finished 7th over 400m at Maitland beaten 5.5 lengths (23.22) behind Polly Waters in a Grade 5 on December 23. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 7, scoring three times. Go close.
