AU - Muswellbrook - Race 1

SOSUEME (7) capable on her day and drops in grade and trip third-up. Solid return at Scone, then failed to get into the contest when a plugging sixth over 5 ½f at Gosford. Appeals today and no excuses in this weaker contest. DIFENSIVO (4) had mixed luck in his four career starts and finds a much easier race. Sat on the fast tempo when a battling third over 5 ½f at Gosford. Placed over this track and trip three-back and looks the main danger. SILENT SERENADE (11) has shown ability placing in all her three starts at Tamworth over this trip. Will go back from the gate and strips fitter second-up. MOKE LAKE (1) returns after 11 months in the paddock without a trial. Stretched out in trip when a battling fourth over 7 ¼f at Quirindi last February. Leading rider booked and must be kept safe.
