Muswellbrook Race 1 - Greg Cribb Memorial Red Crown Hcp
RAGING FORCE (2) returns from a lengthy break and drops many levels for this. Gelded over the break since making his debut when sixth over 1000m in the G3 Breeders' Plate at Randwick last October. Fitted with the one 740m trial and looks too good for these from the inside gate. IT STAYS IN VEGAS (5) resumes after knocking up late on debut when an even fifth over 900m at Scone. Expected to have strengthened over the break and recent 900m trial win had merit. FIREPOP (8) Ryan & Alexiou-trained filly who gets her chance in this easier contest. Faded late on debut when sixth over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Can sit off them today and improve sharply. ANDREA (1) resumes after closing off strongly on debut when a game fifth over 900m at Newcastle. Shea Wilkes keeps the ride and the claim will prove valuable. First starter ISSY'S STAR (7) looks the pick of the rest.

On debut. Two-year-old gelding by Nicconi out of Torrid. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Newcastle over 780m. Doesn't shape as a strong winning hope today.

Todd Howlett trained two-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Scored in a recent Tamworth trial. Has claims from the gate.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 5th of 7 at Scone 2yo Hcp on January 30 over 900m, 2.25 len behind Lighthouse Lass with 58kg at $16. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Anticipating him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Grafton 2yo Hcp January 27 over 1000m, soft track; 6 len behind Zumbo carrying 55.5kg at $31. On debut ran last in a small field at Coffs Harbour 2yo Mdn-Sw January 12 over 800m, soft track; 9 len behind Shaggy with 54.5kg at $51. Will benefit greatly from this hitout.

Filly by Frosted on debut. Finished fifth in a Beaumont (Newcastle) trial over 800m on May 7. Fitter for recent trials so don't dismiss lightly.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 7 at Newcastle Mid 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 26 over 900m, on a wet track; 8 len behind All The Way Mae carrying 55kg at $101. Can't tip her on what we've seen to date.
