Check out our Daily Racing Tips for Tuesday September 8th below, including Muswellbrook best bets!
This looks a competitive little field, with VLTAVA (6) carrying the top rating and getting a useful 1.5kg claim.
Gelsey has shown enough in stronger company to warrant respect, while Ensign Parker gets Aaron Bullock and draws nicely in barrier three.
Vltava gets the nod on top, with Gelsey and Ensign Parker the main dangers.
| 1. Vltava (6) J: Gabrielle Johnston 60kg 2127xT: Joel Wilkes | |||
| Resumes after a break of four months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation seventh of 14 at Scone Cl1-Sw May 15 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Bird Whistle carrying 57.5kg at $26. Previously first up; second of 13 at this track Super Mdn March 27 over 1280m, soft track; a nose behind Overzone with 56.5kg at $91. Resumes with the claim and look for him late. | |||
RED DEER (2) looks well placed from barrier two after finishing fifth at his latest two starts, including a solid effort at his previous run where he was beaten less than three lengths.
The Prospect has placed in three of his past five starts and wasn’t disgraced when eighth first-up, while Royal And Ready has been consistently competitive with placings at three of his past four starts.
Red Deer steps out today a fit horse and he’s the one for me.
| 2. Red Deer (2) J: Unknown 59kg 0x553T: Sara Ryan | |||
| Last start 3rd of 8 in a Prov Mdn at Hawkesbury on August 20 over 1500m, slow going 2.75 len behind Copartner Pegasus carrying 55kg at $11. Before that eased back early on 5th of 7 in a Prov Mdn at Wyong on August 2 over 1350m, 2.25 len behind Savoonga with 55kg at $41. Nicely drawn and shapes as the main danger. | |||
This looks an open maiden, with Force March bringing solid recent form after finishing second at his latest start and placing in three of his past four appearances.
Miners Mate has also been consistent, placing in three of his past four, while MAYSUN (5) showed good improvement to finish second at her latest outing and looks capable of taking another step forward.
Maysun has the upside to go one better here after that strong effort, and she’s the one I’m siding with.
| 6. Maysun (5) J: Mitch Stapleford 55.5kg 5×2T: Peter Snowden | |||
| Third race start. First start 5th of 8 in a Mdn at Canberra on April 17 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Isn’t She Autumn carrying 55.5kg at $7. Returned from break 2nd in a small field in a F&M Mdn at Bathurst on August 17 over 1200m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Celestial Grace with 56kg at $5.50. Blinkers go on for this and strips fitter today. | |||
This final race looks to have several key winning chances, with NO STATEMENT (3) holding the highest rating and turning in an improved performance to fill the minors second up this time.
Third Base has won two of his past three and comes off a breakthrough victory, while Triple Yes also deserves respect after bouncing back to finish second last time.
No Statement looks a key chance again at generous odds.
| 1. No Statement (3) J: Matt Kirk 61kg 54×03T: Mick Van Gestel | |||
| Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up raced on the pace before fading ran last of 11 in a Bm64 at Newcastle on June 13 over 900m, slow going 8 len behind Honey Perfume with 57kg at $18. Second-up rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 7 in a Cond Bm68 at Gosford on August 6 over 1000m, 0.9 len behind Oceans One carrying 53.5kg at $21. Can sneak into the minor money. | |||
