Muswellbrook Race 4 - Phil Pottinger Memorial Country Boosted Mdn Plate
COSTA DEL SOL (1) runs in a big field maiden without a great deal of strong exposed form. So he won't have to be great to win and has shown good things in the trials. Is from a big stable up here, an important jockey booking and the lugging bit suggests a big run on debut. FOUR INTHE MORNING (10) is almost in the same boat. Does have a slightly worse barrier but also has good trial form. Naturally the market will tell a big tale. MOONGLEAM (11) would be another who is bred to want a bit more ground at her first outing. It is easy to fancy these first starters in this, given some of the field. THIRTY DEGREES (6) does happen to be a consistent type who will put himself onto the speed. ARANDAS (15) was in the market when he had the first run so that is positive.

Last start 5th of 11 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at this track on October 5 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Our Astute Lass carrying 59kg at $18. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Wellington on September 15 over 1100m, slow going 5.5 len behind Tampa Bay carrying 57kg at $21. Better effort last start but others preferred.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field in a Mdn at Gulargambone on August 29 over 1100m, slow going head behind Hippeastrum carrying 54kg at $3.60. Last start 8th of 11 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Dubbo on September 27 over 1000m, 8 len behind Patrika Express carrying 55kg at $16. Raced below expectations latest and happy enough to avoid.
