Muswellbrook Race 5

Harvest Restaurant Denman

Prize Money: $1,095

ASTON DEPP (1) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at Wagga over 320m behind Tango Anna (19.10) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Should be very hard to beat this time. LIVELY ETHICS (5) latest effort finished 4th over 288m at Ipswich beaten 9 lengths (17.79) behind Crazy Matrix in a P5 on December 26. Can feature in the finish. TRALEE JO JO (8) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in 4th wasn't far away finishing 4 lengths from the winner (18.91). Expected to feature in the finish. LADY REIGN (2) hit the frame here last start and can sneak into the finish again.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on December 20 over 320m at Wagga behind Tango Anna beaten 8 lengths (19.10) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
