Murwillumbah Race 1

Murwillumbah Cup August 22 Country Boosted Mdn Hcp

Stake: $32,400

HERALD ANGEL (2) is from the top local stable with a claim for boom apprentice and can only be better for a solid debut effort at Grafton. Wouldn't need to have improved a lot to be in the finish of this. GAVING (3) hasn't raced since February when beaten favourite in two of four starts in the preparation. Easy trial since and drawn well so a good chance if the trip isn't too sharp. TORQUE TI AMO (5) was in the market on debut back in September and went fairly. Trialled recently and bears close watching. BARRON (7) has had plenty of chances but could notch another placing while LADY ALABAMA (6) could be an improver.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Grunt out of Daily Challenge AUD $ 1,250 (Magic Millions 2022 April Online Sale) purchase. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1045m at Grafton June 9. Hard to judge on trial and prefer to see unless the market says otherwise.

At debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Grafton Mdn-Sw on June 9 over 1200m, slow going neck behind Divas Reign with 55kg at $6. Made a smart debut and with benefit of that should be hard to beat.

Resuming after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign fourth of 12 at Ballina Ctry Mdn-Sw February 14 over 1590m, soft track; 4 len behind High Class Roller carrying 59kg at $1.90. Previously first up; fourth of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw December 27 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Superzoom carrying 57kg at $19. Not too far away last preparation and if 1200m isn't too sharp he's a good chance.

First starter by Redwood out of Torlundy purchased for NZD $ 45,000 (NZB 2023 Ready to Run Sale). Has a total of two trials prior to her debut today. Not seen at the trials for a couple of months so betting best pointer.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when eased back early on 6th of 11 at Grafton Ctry Mdn-Sw on September 23 over 1006m, 3.5 len behind Wendt carrying 56kg at $3.80. Solid in market at only start and bears close watching.

Last start ran last of 11 at Ballina Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1400m, in the wet; 16 len behind Risk For Reward carrying 57kg at $11. The run before that 4th of 11 at Casino Ctry Mdn on May 30 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Lucky Neko with 58kg at $31. Disappointing last time out but not without place claims.

Second-up. First-up after four months 2nd of 8 at Ballina Ctry Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind No Ragrets with 59kg at $7.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Casino Mdn-Sw on October 26 over 1000m, slow going 2 len behind Bonavee carrying 59kg at $4. Is a 30 start maiden but nice effort fresh and could be placed again.

Second-up. First-up after 11 months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Ballina Ctry Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1000m, on heavy track; 14 len behind No Ragrets carrying 59kg at $51. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Lismore Mdn on August 5 over 1120m, 10 len behind Edge Of Seventeen with 56kg at $81. Hard to get keen on him.
