Muswellbrook Race 3

Gapnsw.com.au

Prize Money: $1,095

CHARLI'S BEGONIA (7) missed the frame last time at Bulli but was in the finish the start prior when fourth (19.86) and goes well this course. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. BARACUDA (8) was a most impressive winner last time scoring by 6 lengths at Maitland in a handy 22.94. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of main contenders. IRISH MISS (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Finished in the minors last time when third (20.30) at Gunnedah making it back to back placings. Has a good record here at this journey. Leading player again. STRIKING LU LU (2) returns from a five weeks layoff and must be included.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a solid 19.86 over 350m when narrowly beaten, at Goulburn. Expected to push the clock again here.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to post a big 6 lengths win at Maitland over 400m (22.94) beating Athena Miss in Grade 5 on January 6. Returned in great order and can make it back to back wins.
