Muswellbrook Race 3

Harvest Restaurant Denman

Prize Money: $1,095

MIDNIGHT MAN (8) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fifth (17.91) at Taree Super Track latest. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Worth another chance. CHAMPAGNE BLISS (5) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from five starts. Missed the frame latest (19.75) when fifth over 336m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. STILL WATCHING (1) is overdue for a win after recording back to back placings, the latest jumping from this same box when a 1.5 lengths second (19.66) in a Grade 5 at this track. Expecting another bold showing. MUM A KEY (2) is not to be discarded.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 336m at this track in a handy (19.61), beating Rolled You. Can go well again with the right run.

Won two starts back at Taree Super Track over 300m in 17.73. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 336m at this track at Grade 5 level. Can't recommend her in this.

Lines up from box 5 for the first time after finishing a 2.5 lengths fifth at this track (19.75) in a Grade 5. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (17.91) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
