Courthouse Hotel Hcp (C1)
Second up from spell with prior distance win; recent Muswellbrook 8th showed finishing power despite poor start. Connections strong, form edges rivals in high-volatility CL1.

High place strike suits each-way; Gunnedah experience (prior start) and light weight aid in fast tempo for backmarker.
