Muswellbrook Race 6

The Lids Fly On Ladbrokes Live

Prize Money: $1,190

SMACK WATER MAN (1) scored an on-pace win two back then gave a start and could manage only 4th at this track (19.61) last time. Looks the one to beat on his best form. GREAT NORTH (6) struggled in tougher grade last start after losing his position early at Maitland, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Gosford (22.57) beating Good Odds Turbo in a Grade 5 on January 7. Bold showing expected. SUSIE'S SO FAST (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (20.21) last time in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the main contenders. SWIFT CHOICE (3) can fill a top-three spot.
