Muswellbrook Race 8

Mark Hughes Foundation

Prize Money: $3,110

GET UP TIGER (3) has been racing well lately, making it two on end when saluting at Richmond last time over 320m in (18.30). Well placed and will be tough to beat. TRICKLE (2) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 6th and beaten 20 lengths at The Gardens (24.23). Deserves plenty of respect. MEGARA (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at Richmond over 320m. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including two wins, from six starts. Expected to be in the finish again. JUNGLE TIGER (7) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Back from a 12 weeks spell and last resumed over 431m at this track where she was in the placings, finishing second. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (33.08) over 571m at this track. Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.
