Muswellbrook Race 9

Ladbrokes Muswellbrook Cup Ht 2 H

Prize Money: $5,575

ZIPPING EVANIA (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at Wentworth Park in a handy 29.76 beating Santino Kade. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Looks to have an edge on most of these. MR. MOODIE (5) is having his first start around this track. Strong winner last time by 2.75 lengths at Nowra in a Mix in one of the quickest times on the program (29.71). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Form should stack up. GREAT RATE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 431m behind Screaming Violet (25.15) in a Grade 4/5. Should be thereabouts. NATSUKO (2) placed in impressive time last start - cannot be ignored.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished last on October 23 over 431m at this track behind Screaming Violet beaten 8 lengths (25.15) in a Grade 4/5. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 3.5 lengths third over 515m at Gosford, clocking 29.86. Has ability and can run well.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Nowra over 520m in 29.71 last start, beating Magnificent. Yet to win but has been in the money two times from four starts off this draw. Right in the mix.
