Muswellbrook Race 7

Muswellbrook Cup Heats Oct 30

Stake: $3,452

CURYO DANCER (3) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.75 lengths second over 603m Gosford in 35.00. Deserves a win and gets her chance. FASCINATE VERN (7) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from six tries. Was out of placings last time (24.91) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Among the main chances. ZIPPING HEDWIG (8) was drawn the middle last start but pinged the lids and recorded an all-the-way win (30.35) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5 over 520m. Significant danger. GOLDEN EFFECTS (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Is back up to 571m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fourth over 431m at this track a week ago. Solid chance with even luck.

In the money last time at Gosford (35.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Goes well out of this box with a win and eight minors. Makes strong appeal.
