Muswellbrook Race 8

Gapnsw.com.au

Stake: $1,183

VOLARE ALTO (1) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (23.02), beaten 10 lengths. Finished second the start before. Rates on top in this line up. JOHN'S PROMISE (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (23.35) last time in a Grade 5 at Maitland. Form here sound including three wins. Cannot be taken lightly. NEGATIVE NEWMAN (8) turned in a moderate run last time when sixth at Gosford over 388m behind She Will Kick (23.62) in a Grade 5. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Should be in this for a long way. LADY BLIP (4) is in form and must include among the chances. Something for the Multiples: HOOKED ON JACK (6)

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on May 18 over 375m at Broken Hill behind Aston Mc Enroe beaten 10 lengths (23.02). Placed two back at Broken Hill. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Last start finished 7th over 400m at Maitland beaten 6 lengths (23.35) behind Zuma Zesta in a Grade 5 on June 9. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at The Gardens. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Was out of placings last time (23.62) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 19 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
