Horse Racing tips from Michael Gannon
We head to the upper Hunter region of NSW on Monday afternoon, for a competitive eight race card at Muswellbrook racecourse.
The track is currently rated a Good 4 and fine weather is forecast throughout the day.
The rail is out 5m from the 1200m-300m mark, then the cutaway applies.
Punters can expect on-pace runners to have the best time of it.
Jockey watch
Robert Thompson holds a 14.71%, strike rate and has ridden 5 winners from 34 starts over the past 12-months.

Muswellbrook Race 3 Tip #9 Oakfield Arrow $2.00
This filly by Press Statement was huge on debut, running 0.47 lengths off Expat at Gosford over 1100m.
She closed with good intent and will no doubt relish the rise in distance out to 1280m today.
Whilst that was against the girls, this race looks to have much less depth and from the better gate this time around, she can break her maiden.
Darryl McLellan will take the ride from barrier 4. Expect him to give the filly time to find her feet, which is likely to see her settle two or three pairs back in the running line.
From there, look for her to peel off heels and put them away with her strong turn of foot.
The clear second pick in the race is Tip Toes.
The Kris Lees trained filly was well backed when first-up, but struggled in the heavy ground and is sure to enjoy the drier track today.
