Muswellbrook Race 3

Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters

Stake: $2,495

KING KAINANE (8) was a winner two back in fast time when racing on speed but drifted back latest and safely held when 8th and beaten 22 lengths at The Gardens (24.34). Has winning claims on his best figures. TOTALLY DELUDED (7) has been out of the placings last two but prior to that produced a slick 18.87 win over 330m at Temora. Expecting another bold showing. SKETCHY DELIVER (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (20.11) in a Mix 2/3 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. RADLEY ERSKIN (1) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd on May 10 over 336m at this track behind Blue Supreme beaten 3.5 lengths (19.85) in a Mix 2/3. Hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish.

Last start finished 6th over 336m at this track beaten 7 lengths (20.11) behind Blue Supreme in a Mix 2/3 on May 10. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 336m at this track in a handy (19.81), beating Rosy Lone. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to overlook.

Missed the frame latest (19.92) when fifth over 330m at Temora in a Mix 3/4. Has three wins and four placings from 14 starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.

Comments

Back from a spell of three months. Won two starts back when well in the market at Gosford over 388m. Last start finished last in a Grade 4/5 on February 19 over 400m at The Gardens behind Ripper Lane beaten 22 lengths (24.34). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
