Muswellbrook Race 9

Muswellbrook Cup Heats - Oct 30

Prize Money: $3,110

GO FORWARD SKY (5) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (42.83) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. ROCK ME GENTLY (4) goes very well here starting nine times for three wins and three minors. Below best last time at Gunnedah (31.24) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth. Suited here and expected to run well. RAMPAGER (1) finds it hard to win. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (25.36) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can feature again. RUPERTUS (2) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Good effort last time when second (25.36) over 431m at this track. Draws the cherry this time. One of the better hopes.

Was out of placings last time (42.83) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 388m at Gosford. Looks tested in this company.
