Muswellbrook Race 2 - Pirtek Muswellbrook Plate (C1)
SUNSPRITE (7) improving filly desperate for a bit of ground. Closed strongly from back in the field first-up with a slashing third over 1500m at Newcastle. Leading apprentice hops on and maps to get the right run. ON ANY TUESDAY (6) third-up today and gives the impression this trip will suit. Sat on the tempo before peaking late with a modest fifth over 1450m at this track. Gets the gun run and expected to go close. BRANNUM (1) has put together back-to-back placings as he gradually steps-up in trip. Taken to the front with the 59kg for a game third over 1600m at Canberra. Looks up to these with the 59kg. Last-start placegetter MAJESTIC ROCA (4) is working towards a win.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 10 at Newcastle Cl1 on March 31 over 1500m, 0.9 len behind Is It Spectacular with 53.5kg at $4.20.
