The new week of racing gets underway at Muswellbrook Race Club on Monday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program set for decision. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with little to no rain forecast in the lead-up, the current Good 4 rating should hold for race-day. All the action is scheduled to kick off at 1:05pm local time.
Muswellbrook Best Bet: Last Frontier
Last Frontier returns after a 155-day spell and will be looking to maintain his impressive resume after securing three wins and another minor placing in four starts. The son of Deep Field was terrific when winning at Tamworth on March 10 before being sent to the paddock by the Cody Morgan barn, storming through the wire to claim a Class 2 victory at his home track. His barrier trials leading into this suggest he’s lost nothing in his time away from racing, and although this BM74 contest has more depth than what he’s faced in the past, Last Frontier appears up to the task.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#8 Last Frontier (3)
5yo Gelding | T: Cody Morgan | J: Siena Grima (a3) (57kg)

Next Best at Muswellbrook: Here Comes Hogan
Back-to-back runner-up performances should have Here Comes Hogan ready to peak third-up into the campaign. The Matthew Smith-trained gelding has been beaten less than a length across those two efforts, with the four-year-old son of Shalaa getting nosed out in his latest run at Wyong on July 20. The step back to country grade should be ideal, and with barrier five allowing Mitchell Bell to take up the running throughout the journey, watch for Here Comes Hogan to give a bold sight turning for home.
Next Best
Race 4 – 
#2 Here Comes Hogan (5)
4yo Gelding | T: Matthew Smith | J: Mitchell Bell (59kg)

Best Value at Muswellbrook: Ancient Egypt
Although Ancient Egypt was disappointing first-up at Doomben on July 27 for the Wayne Brown barn, punters can expect this guy to bounce back second-up. The lightly raced six-year-old has a strong second-up profile, with two of his three career victories coming at the second start of the preparation. He should get every chance to stalk the leading pair from barrier one this time, and with race-day fitness on his side, Ancient Egypt should be letting down with a withering burst when asked the question by claiming apprentice Jack Baker.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#1 Ancient Egypt (1)
6yo Gelding | T: Wayne Brown | J: Jack Baker (a2) (62kg)
