Cowra Race 4 - Charlie Muddle Memorial Super Mdn
HEARTFELT NZ (10) has been racing well of late. Finished third at her latest appearance over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 5.5 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Taking on a better line-up this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. AIR FORCE MAJOR (7) is a two-year-old colt from the Amanda Turnbull yard on debut. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Was not far away in a recent trial. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. SWEET ESPRESSO NZ (8) is worth some thought after finishing sixth first-up over 1740m at Riverina Paceway last time out. TRANSPARENT HART (2) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw. Worth an each-way ticket.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1730m at Bathurst was 6th-9.11 at the bell, beaten 4 m by Rosanna Shannon (2:09.20) on September 9 at $41. At the previous start 10th (Fr1) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 30 m by Tulhurst Maureen (2:07.50) on August 19 at $31. Expecting a better run this time.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1700m at this track was 4th-6.2 at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Judah (2:09.40) on September 13 at $34. Will make her presence felt.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1700m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.6 beaten 8 m by Judah (2:09.40) on September 13 at $51. Two runs back 6th (Fr3) over 1720m at Young beaten 85 m by Gibbs (2:09.40) on August 18 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1730m at Bathurst beaten 45 m by Swette Cheval (2:06.60) on September 2 at $41. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr5) over 1730m at Bathurst was 5th-9.43 at the bell, beaten 2.25 m by Grant For Lexy (2:08.40) on August 26 at $6.50. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing fifth after a quick start, behind Between Decks at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo on August 19 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Californiaprincess at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo on August 28 at $2.60. Sure to be there at the business end.
