Muswellbrook Race 8

Muswellbrook Cup Heats Oct 30

Prize Money: $3,110

TOMMIE'S BRIDE (1) is on a hot streak recording a 24.63 win over 431m at this track last start following on from a blistering 17.36 success at this track over 300m the start prior. Hard to top on recent times. JUNGLE TIGER (7) stalked lead from an outside box last start before finishing third (30.70) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 527m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. SHE'S GROOVING (8) ran below best last time finishing fourth (31.06) over 525m at Taree Super Track from Box 8. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. MAKE YOUR STAND (2) warrants respect although new to this track.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 431m at this track in a handy 24.63 beating Trickle. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fifth (23.44) over 400m at The Gardens. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at Maitland. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Didn't make the placings last time at Taree Super Track (31.06) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Leading player.
