Muswellbrook Race 3 - Keldan Group Showcase Country Boosted Mdn Plate
NEAREST (5) crunched in betting on debut ($1.50 fav), when he jumped awkwardly and never got into the contest when sixth over 1200m at Tamworth. Extra trip in his favour and look for a stronger showing. Blinkers going on is a positive. PEPPERINA (10) resumes from a lengthy spell after running on late in her two career starts. Back with the one trial over 1200m at Muswellbrook. Look for her late. BRIDEGO (2) far from disgraced from the wide gate on resumption with a plugging fourth over 1000m at Taree. Fitter now and looking for this trip from the inside gate. Each way. RAGUEL (12) having his third race start today and improved sharply at his latest run with a sound on-pace fourth over 1100m at Scone. Drawn out and has place claims.

Was well-supported at debut, settled back and ran on when 6th of 12 at Tamworth Super Mdn on April 10 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Hinto carrying 59kg at $1.50. Better for that experience and can measure up with the blinkers going on.

Racing well recently. Most recently ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Taree Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1312m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Mosgiel Crystal with 54kg at $5. Before that 2nd of 12 at Taree Ctry Mdn on April 9 over 1400m, slow going 0.5 len behind Course Of Action with 52kg at $12. Capable of building on that performance and she looks one of the main chances.

Having third race start. At debut, 6th of 11 at this track Starmaker on March 27 over 1000m, slow going 5 len behind Hellenic Belle carrying 58kg at $16. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Scone Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Moke Lake with 56kg at $9. Not far away at latest and is worth including.
