Muswellbrook Race 8

Ladbrokes Same Race Multi Max 150 Points

Stake: $2,541

PARK KEY POP (3) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing sixth (18.53) at Taree Super Track in a Grade 5. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. HAVANA ROSE (5) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Grade 4 winner three starts ago and has drawn 5 where she has won before. Expected to bounce back to best. MIDNIGHT SALSA (2) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (19.75) at this track in a Grade 5. Rates a winning chance on best. DIVA'S DELIGHT (8) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Drawn the inside alley. At the last start finished last over 400m at Dubbo beaten 14 lengths (24.06) behind Irinka Ruby in a Grade 5 on April 5. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
