Quick Analysis:

Looking to kick things off with a bang in Race 1 at Muswellbrook, with Hibiki Harmony, who is currently the favourite for this race. She couldn’t get the job done last time out as the narrow favourite here at Muswellbrook, but this field looks a little easier. With more experience at the track and Braith Nock taking over in the saddle, there’s a lot to like.

Quick Analysis:

Sticking with the favourite here in Race 5 at Muswellbrook with Whil To Win. The mare managed her first career win last time out at Newcastle, beating the $1.60 favourite in the process. She will have to lug around one of the heaviest weights for this one, but she looks to be pretty fit and is in form, so she should prove too good for them.

Echuca - Race 6, 4 PM

Top Pick: 

12. Macha

Recommended Bet Type:

Each-Way

Quick Analysis:

There looks to be a couple of live chances in this one, and based on the odds, I’ll be getting on Macha, who is currently going around with decent each-way odds. Didn’t do a lot last time out, but the drop in distance looks ideal. She also has a decent record on Good-rated tracks, at 7:1-2-2. She can break through at value odds.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Deel Me A Queen impressed when breaking her maiden first-up at Scone and draws perfectly again. She looks hard to beat in Race 2 at Muswellbrook.
  • tip
    Snitz Sonic was narrowly beaten on debut at Sandown and now finds a much softer race. He is the clear top pick in Race 3 at Echuca.
  • tip
    Auckland is chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Bairnsdale and Echuca. He looks perfectly placed to make it three straight in Race 7 at Echuca.
