MUSWELLBROOK & DISTRICT WORKERS CLUB CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1750m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +5m 1000m - 300m; Then Cutaway, True Remainder .  

Reasonable tempo with Cassie's Lad probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ELITE DELIGHT (8) starting to hit her straps and finds a winnable contest. Bounced off her good second at Moruya, with a fast finishing fourth over 1710m at Grafton. Shouldn't be a maiden for long. THINK OF ONE (7) comes here in peak condition fifth-up and maps to get a much better run today. Chipped away late with a plugging third over 2000m at Taree. Best form can see him take a hand in the finish. KING JERRY (3) massive drop in grade and on the quick backup after fading late when seventh over 1600m at Randwick in Highway grade. Trained on the track and ready to win. CASSIE'S LAD (1) was a beaten favourite last start but has claims off a second at Newcastle prior. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,7,3.
