Gunnedah Race 9

Ladbrokes Punter Assist

Prize Money: $2,310

LEAVING NOW (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Grafton over 350m behind Aussie Storm (21.15) in a Grade 5. Tough to beat if on-song. BEAR MAN (8) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (20.16) at this track. Should be about the money. HIP DROP (2) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 8 lengths (20.60). Expected to be in the finish again. GOLDEN ROUGH (7) saluted at big odds last time, cannot be ruled out.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 340m at this track beaten 8 lengths (20.60) behind Blazing Leo in a Grade 5 on March 26. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.

Resumes from a nine weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third over 388m at Gosford. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
