Muswellbrook Race 3 - Emf Group Denman Dash (Bm66)
TRIPLE YES (2) lands here after winning a CL1 at Port Macquarie as favourite, with Aaron Bullock back aboard and barrier 2 helping her case. She's a speedy customer and if she handles the quick turnaround, she'll be very tough to run down once again. ALABAMA HAMMER (4) resumes after showing ability in two provincial Newcastle runs, including a debut Maiden win, and has enough upside to be respected fresh. The draw is a query, though she'll find this easier and a forward showing is on the cards. Stablemate BLIND SQUIRREL (5) was dominant breaking through in Maiden grade at Wellington when off a long break. This is tougher, but there's enough substance in her first-up figures to suggest the fresh win wasn't a fluke. OUR EMILY (7) is better suited coming back in trip today and won't be far away. BLUE DANE (6) was solid on resumption and makes some appeal with no weight on her back.

Bounced back at Port Macquarie last week, winning a Class 1 over 1004m on soft ground as favourite and holding Dirty Does It by just under a length. Her previous run at this track was only fair after an awkward start and shifting ground near the 200m, but Aaron Bullock is one-for-one on her and barrier 2 gives her every chance to race handy again. Too good from the front last time out and she'll be tough to catch once again.

Returned in sharp order at Wellington, winning a Maiden by five and a half lengths on soft ground after settling prominently and kicking right away as favourite. That was a complete turnaround from her Gosford debut last year, when last of eight after being near the top of betting. Bolted in off a long break at Wellington and she has to come into calculations off that performance.

Resumed with a good second in an Open at Bowraville, beaten just over half a length after giving them something to chase. That was a clear lift on her previous heavy-track failure at Port Macquarie, where she dropped out badly. Wouldn't surprise to see her feature off a good fresh effort.

Worked home honestly when fifth in a Benchmark 58 at Narromine last start, beaten just over two lengths after having the drop on the leaders. She had earlier gone within a nose in a Benchmark 50 at Kempsey, with a minor check near the 500m adding context. Draws the inside and can play a leading role.

Was safely held when resuming in the Class 1 won by Triple Yes at Port Macquarie last week, finishing eighth after being unwanted in the market. Her previous run was a Benchmark 50 third at the same venue, beaten only a head, but that was back in March and there was no clear excuse last start. Earlier placing helps a little, but she must improve quickly.

Finished seventh in a Class 3 at Taree last start, beaten six and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression at long odds. Two back at Coffs Harbour he was slow away but did make some late ground in a Benchmark 58, beaten just over four lengths. Long odds lately and unplaced for 12 months, so he must find more.
