AU - Muswellbrook - Race 2

STUCK IN THE GORGE (6) nice gelding heading in the right direction. A win looks imminent from the inside draw after he stuck on gamely in a stronger race when third over 7f at Inverell. Stable apprentice jumps back on and he finds a winnable contest. BLACKTHORN (5) The Autumn Sun gelding from Plum Stone on debut for the Messara & Gavranich stable. Hardly excited in all three trials but expected to improve quickly under race conditions over this trip. PIERRO'S GIRL (10) big improver when she jumped in trip for an eye-catching fourth at her second run back over 1m at Taree. Capable of further progression with the good tempo expected. KRYSTINA KERIMA (8) fourth-up today and gives the indication this trip will suit. Outclassed in a Super Maiden when fifth over 6 ?f at Gilgandra. Senior rider goes on and expected to take a hand in the finish.
