Gunnedah Race 5

Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots

Prize Money: $2,310

LIGHTNING REECE (7) won again and recorded an impressive time after leading them home to make it two on end at this track over 340m (19.47). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. The one to beat again. SETTLE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind MORTAR (19.87) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Form from her last run is proving strong. Expected to be in this for a long way. CORBERT'S GIRL (2) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (19.81) at this track in a Grade 5 over 340m. Expected to be in this for a long way. HIP DROP (3) is in winning form and worth including in the main hopes.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (19.87) at this track over 340m. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Last start finished 2nd on January 27 over 340m at this track behind Lightning Reece beaten 5 lengths (19.81) in a Grade 5. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on January 29 over 340m at this track behind Warren beaten one length (19.92). Hard to tip with any confidence.

Well supported last time and ran up to expectations, burning early to score a 2.25 lengths win at this track over 340m in 19.62. Can make it two on the bounce.
