Muswellbrook Race 1

Greg Cribb Memorial Red Crown Hcp

Stake: $32,400

RAGING FORCE (2) returns from a lengthy break and drops many levels for this. Gelded over the break since making his debut when sixth over 1000m in the G3 Breeders' Plate at Randwick last October. Fitted with the one 740m trial and looks too good for these from the inside gate. IT STAYS IN VEGAS (5) resumes after knocking up late on debut when an even fifth over 900m at Scone. Expected to have strengthened over the break and recent 900m trial win had merit. ANDREA (1) resumes after closing off strongly on debut when a game fifth over 900m at Newcastle. Shea Wilkes keeps the ride and the claim will prove valuable. First starter ISSY'S STAR (7) looks the pick of the rest.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Grafton 2yo Hcp January 27 over 1000m, soft track; 6 len behind Zumbo carrying 55.5kg at $31. On debut ran last in a small field at Coffs Harbour 2yo Mdn-Sw January 12 over 800m, soft track; 9 len behind Shaggy with 54.5kg at $51. Will benefit greatly from this hitout.
