Muswellbrook Race 4

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 5Th Grade Ht 2 H

Prize Money: $3,110

MY MACHINE (2) is an honest type who is having his first try here. Lines up here in winning form after scoring by 4 lengths from box six at The Gardens (22.84). Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. ZIPPER BANK (1) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (22.80) in a Grade 4/5 at Maitland latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can turn it around this time. ELSA ABOVE (6) finished second (22.84) two back at Dubbo but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Worth following up. TOMMIE'S BRIDE (3) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (22.80) at Maitland in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from seven starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Gardens over 400m in 22.84 last start, beating It's A Tease. Recorded the quickest time on the card last time. Stay with him.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when she recorded a speedy 19.36 over 336m finishing second at this track. Expecting another bold showing.

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third over 340m at Gunnedah. Others hold stronger claims.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when sixth (23.41) at Dubbo. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need a little luck to feature.

Eye-catching performance to score by a neck in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 19.29 over the 336m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
