Mudgee Race 1 - The Piano Man 24/10 Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
SUMMER SONATA (9) ran a nice race two back over 1200m at Gilgandra then didn't enjoy a drop in distance last time at Narromine when down the track. Backs up seven days later over a more suitable trip so watch for a far better performance. PROMISE YOU (3) improved last time out at her second trip to the races but was still safely held over today's journey at Gunnedah. Drops 3kgs after the claim and is open to plenty of improvement. COBOCCO (5) is a 19-start maiden who wasn't far away last start at Narromine. Ready to peak third-up. TAMIEKA WARRIOR (10) can improve today in an easier maiden with the blinkers going on.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, ran second last of 9 in a Ctry Mdn at Muswellbrook on July 26 over 1280m, 6 len behind Heathcliff with 55kg at $71. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 13 in a Ctry Mdn at Gunnedah on August 14 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind High Grade with 57kg at $26. Likely improver who can measure up this time.

At the latest run 7th of 11 in a Cl1-Sw at Narromine on August 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Dusty Vermeer with 55kg at $21. The start before that ran second last in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at Carinda on July 18 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Windsor Road carrying 57kg at $1.50. Draws the fence and can bounce back.

Third-up today. First-up 7th of 9 in a Mdn at Gunnedah on August 14 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Puffin carrying 53kg at $151.

Most recently 3rd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Narromine on August 23 over 1300m, slow going 1.5 len behind Easy Trapezee with 59kg at $7.

Should give a good account.
