We’re racing at Muswellbrook on Monday afternoon to kick-off our racing week.
The rail sits in the true position the entire circuit and sit on a Soft 7 track, expect some slight improvement with a couple clearing days, however with rain expect on race-day Heavy 8 could be on the agenda come the first.
The first race gets underway at 1:15pm AEST and we’ve got a competitive eight-race card to do the form for.
Best Bet at Muswellbrook – Sugoi Legend
Our best bet of the day comes in the fourth race on the card in the form of Richard & Will Freedman-trained gelding Sugoi Legend. This horse by Maurice has had just the one start to his name, but that was a very competitive maiden at Warwick Farm on October 3. He was back and travelled wide turning for home that day and made up a stack of ground late to only be beaten four-lengths on the post. The extra 100m here to the 1500m, and a more favourable barrier draw should see him figure in what looks a moderate maiden. We expect him to be one or two pairs back off the speed, then when asked to get around the leaders be too strong for them. Looks a very nice type going forward.

Next Best at Muswellbrook – Miss Santorini
We’re happy to be with the mare from the Kris Lees yard Miss Santori in race-two. She comes here in better form than what it reads with a gut-busting run first-up at Port Macquarie, just pretend she never went around. She raced wide without cover throughout on September 25 and she was never able to cross the field, come Monday afternoon from gate two expect Koby Jennings to take all luck out of the equation, and Miss Santorini should be able to take up her usual pattern of leading. She’ll roll along and be very tough to run down, particularly with market elect Samiballerina already scratched, we may have to take a shorter price, but her winning chances only improve.

Best Value at Muswellbrook – Hard To Dismiss
This mare by All Too Hard is going outstanding this preparation. A last-start winner at Tamworth, Hard to Dismiss looks exactly that on Monday afternoon. She’s looking for back-to-back wins after being competitive in Highway races in town before stepping back in grade at Tamworth on September 26. She’s got a negative style getting back in the running but she’s also ultra-consistent to offset that, and at each-way odds with online bookmakers we’re happy to take a risk with her in a somewhat open BM66 affair. Mitchell Bell will have no choice but to take the Scott Singleton-trained galloper to the rear of the field, but she’ll be storming home late to test her rivals late.

#4 Hard To Dismiss (7)
