Luke's Monday Mail
We head to Muswellbrook for a competitive 7 race card.
The track is currently rated a Soft 6, with the rail out 3m from the 1000m-300m and true for the remainder.
I'm looking for runners who can sit just behind the pace at this set-up. The cutaway will give them plenty of space to reel in the leaders after the bend.
Muswellbrook Tips from Luke Hovhanesian
Muswellbrook Race 2 #2 Eva Daniela $2.20
This 3YO filly is starting to form a habit of being a bridesmaid.
Three seconds in a row doesn't fill a punter with confidence, however the runs have been much better to the eye.
She finally strikes a track with a lovely long straight, peaking 4th up.
Kris Lees and Aaron Bullock are a lethal combination. Bullock will have plenty of time to land her in a perfect trailing position behind the leaders.
With any clear air, she will be charging down the straight and can break her maiden in style
Muswellbrook Race 6 #5 Lightfast $3.30
Aaron Bullock has a stacked card of chances.
He can add to his winners in the penultimate with this Paul Messara runner.
At his last start, this horse returned from a lengthy spell with a dominant victory at Tamworth.
The former Victorian raced right up on speed and boxed on to score by a convincing margin of 1.3 lengths.
He looks to have returned a much stronger horse, plus has matured from the bad temperament that plagued him as a youngster.
Aaron Bullock can use similar tactics today to be positive from the draw.
There is speed out wide so if they cross he can get a lovely trailing position just in behind.
Best of the day and can go 2/2 in NSW.
