Muswellbrook Race 1 - Ken Barnett Memorial Mdn Hcp
IMELDA (3) runs in a race without much good exposed form. She did run here and ran well over a distance which looks too short on breeding alone. Now out another furlong, it is easy to see her sitting midfield and running over the top of them. MISSION STRIKE (2) is a former Hong Kong horse who must not have enjoyed the circumstances there so came home and has had two trials. The market will tell. WHAT A GENT (11) likely takes up a position and uses an inside draw. This does look easier than the last couple. CRISPY LEAVES (4) did not have the best of luck in a better race at Newcastle. She does get into a more appropriate maiden for what she has shown to date. ELDIRON (1) showed nothing at the debut but that was a while ago. Place is probably the best chance.

Was well-supported at debut, came from midfield; 2nd of 9 in a Mdn at this track on October 5 over 1280m, 0.6 len behind Rolling Home carrying 58kg at $2.80. Should take the next step today and is a major player.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Last start ran last of 11 in a Cl1-Sw at Newcastle on September 18 over 1850m, 12 len behind Think Itz You with 55kg at $51. The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Wyong on August 30 over 1625m, 4 len behind Grunge carrying 57kg at $12. Unlikely to really feature.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Scone on September 25 over 1400m, 6 len behind Lope De Luna carrying 57kg at $101. Must improve sharply.
