Race 1 — Pirtek Muswellbrook Mdn Plate 1000m · jumps

Race preview

Welcome to Muswellbrook for the Pirtek Muswellbrook Mdn Plate over the 1000m dash on a soft6 track with fine weather overhead. The punters have sized up this three-year-old maiden affair, with Time For Speed leading the win market order ahead of Lightening Kiss and Binit, with Pomelo Chamomile sitting right in contention as well. It is a fascinating mix of seasoned youngsters and raw debutants ready to rumble down the local straight at 1:15 pm AEDT.

Looking into the form of those shorter in the market, Time For Speed returns for a second campaign under trainer T S Howlett, having previously placed at Dubbo on a heavy track and tuned up nicely with a recent Muswellbrook trial win under Ben Looker. Meanwhile, Lightening Kiss for Brett & Georgie Cavanough comes to the races as a debutant from a soft draw with Grant Buckley in the saddle, backed by an encouraging trial placing. Binit resumes for Sara Ryan after battling home at Scone previously, while Pomelo Chamomile returns from a let-up for K A Lees following a freshen-up and a handy trial.

For those chasing further angles, watch how the speed map unfolds with Pomelo Chamomile positioned as the leader while several runners debut, including Kuldar drawn down low for K A Lees and Christian Reith. Lightening Kiss also benefits from the inside alley in barrier one. It looks like a proper tactical puzzle for punters looking to kick off the program on a winning note.

AAP

Trials (2:0-0-1). Out of a Group 2-winning mare. In astute yard and latest trial was fairly encouraging. Drawn well. Odds may prove best guide here.

ILB

3yo by Russian Revolution racing as a debutant for trainer Kris Lees and has a positive gate. Placed 3rd in a trial at Scone on Oct 7th. Watch the market moves.

RP

Already gelded; there's hope from the sire that he has some ability; trainer has healthy record with newcomers at this trip; shares a dam with Bonita Queen, a 5½f winner; rates a likely contender as some good aspects to his profile.

RSIS

3yo runner on debut by Russian Revolution for Kris Lees and gets a favourable stall. Ran 3rd in a trial at Scone on Oct 7th.

AAP

Second campaign (21-weeks). Acquitted self well with debut placing at Dubbo. Better for the run and trial was encouraging. Can progress.

ILB

Back from a spell. Ran home into 3rd last run at Dubbo and fitter for debut run. Winner in a trial at this track on Oct 21st. Good chance in this.

RP

Creditable debut, finishing third, beaten 4½l at Dubbo over 5½f at 7-1 five months ago; back from an absence here; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Hit the line well when 3rd last time at Dubbo and having second career run. Won a trial here on Oct 21st. Definite contender.

Annabel Archibald & Rob Archibald trained 3yo by Russian Revolution on debut. Interesting gear change of tongue tie on first time. Keep your eye on the market.

RP

Sire's stock can be smart performers; yard gets plenty of winning newcomers at this trip; definitely of interest with signs of encouragement in profile.

RSIS

Annabel Archibald & Rob Archibald 3yo by Russian Revolution having first start. Interesting to see the tongue strap go on for the first time.

AAP

Back for second campaign (20-weeks). Passable debut effort when battled home in rain affected going at Newcastle following market easing. Comes back stronger and tuned with 2 trials. Include.

ILB

First up after a break. Jumped at $7.00 and not up to standard when 7th last run at Newcastle but was on debut last time. Can win.

RP

Not disgraced on her debut (Newcastle, 4½f) at 6-1 five months ago; returns from a layoff here; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

RSIS

Resuming from break. Was 6/1 and tailed off when 7th last run at Newcastle but was on debut last time. Should go very close.

AAP

Returns for second campaign (22-weeks). Stepping out for only the second time after battling home at Scone at healthy odds 31 May. Had two subsequent trials. May need more racing.

ILB

First up from a break. Jumped at $21.00 and ran 4th last run at Scone but having second race start. Won a trial at Beaumont Newcastle on Oct 12th. Looks optimistic.

RP

Held on her debut in Scone handicap over 4½f at 20-1 in May; layoff to overcome; possible improver with outing under her belt although has plenty to find.

RSIS

Resumes after a break. At 20/1 finished 4th last run at Scone but having second race start. Success in a trial at Beaumont Newcastle on Oct 12th.

Let-up (47-days). Went close at Tuncurry 24 Aug. Finished out the back at Illawarra Grange when second-up at double-figure odds. Keep safe.

ILB

Back from a freshen up. Started at $20.00 and just average when 11th last start at Illawarra Grange. Overlooking the last run. Won't be far away during the run. Worth strong consideration.

RP

Last of 11 (Illawarra Grange) 47 days ago in a handicap; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Started at 19/1 and average performance when 11th last run at Illawarra Grange. Can make a comeback. Should muster plenty of early pace. Should go well.
