Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Friday’s meeting at Muswellbrook.

Track: Soft 7

Rail: Out 3m from 1300m to 1000m then +8m from 1000m to 300m where cutaway applies.

First race: 12.20pm

High Tec (Race 4) is now challenging for favouritism after being backed in more than two points in early betting. He is now second pick in the market at $3.40 and is expected to improve plenty back in country grade after his last two runs at provincial level.

Lady Sansa (Race 5) opened a joint favourite but has now clearly taken control of the market at $2.70 after firming more than half a point. She was luckless when trapped wide last time but still ran a good second at the provincials and is suited back in grade.

Mapmaker (Race 6) opened at over $20 but is now into single figures at $7 on the back of steady support throughout the morning. He drops plenty in distance after failing in the Gunnedah Cup last time but had won his previous two at sprint journeys and does have a win and a second from two runs at 1000m.
