Muswellbrook Race 4

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

BANDIT SOPHIE (2) is back from a three-and-a-half months spell after falling at The Gardens last time but prior to that finished second in a Grade 5. Rates a top chance on best and should go close here fresh. GO FORWARD JACKI (1) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Maiden win two back (18.49) at Richmond. Well placed here and can atone this time. DIRTY DANCING (7) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won two of three starts. Below best last time at Wentworth Park (30.81) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fourth. Can hit the frame with the right run. BARACUDA (4) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 6 lengths at Maitland (22.94) beating Athena Miss in a Grade 5 on January 6. Has claims on best form.
