Muswellbrook Race 7 - Aberdeen Cup 31 May Showcase (Bm58)
SUGARFIRE (9) improving mare with her hoof on the till. Taken to the front with a tenacious third over 1500m at this track in a solid rating contest. Hard to beat in this suitable race despite drawing out. COURSE OF ACTION (4) bounced off his good debut second with a slashing Maiden victory over 1400m at Taree when coming from near last last on the turn. Can keep the winning momentum going in this stronger contest. JASON DARREN (3) win record hardly excites but comes here in good order. Tried hard with the 57kg when a game on-pace fifth over 1400m at Tamworth on April 24. Will roll along and give a ton of cheek. HARRY'S BOY (5) improving gelding who overcame the wide gate at his second race start with a narrow victory over 1300m at Scone. On the up and ready for this trip. Each way.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 10 at Port Macquarie Bm66 on April 26 over 1800m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Strobing with 58kg at $6.50. The run before that won by 2 len at Taree Bm58 April 9 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Prince Is Game with 57kg at $4.60. Not far from the winner last time and is worth keeping safe.

At the latest run 5th of 14 at Tamworth Ctry Cl1 on April 24 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Proclivity with 57kg at $5. The start before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 at this track Bm58 on April 6 over 1450m, slow going 0.6 len behind Oakfield Alaska carrying 59kg at $6.50. Terrific chance to return to form on the quick back-up.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 5th of 10 at Scone Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Oakfield Alaska carrying 58.5kg at $8. Second-up won by a long-neck at Scone Mdn April 13 over 1300m defeating Dame Dividend with 58.5kg at $4.40. Draws awkwardly but should run another big race.
