Gunnedah Race 12

Ladbrokes Pathways

Prize Money: $2,310

SOLO SOLO (7) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (18.72) at Dubbo in a Grade 5 over 318m. Looks the one to beat. ROUSTABOUT (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Dubbo over 318m behind Urban Hype (19.64) in a Grade 5. Form from his last run is proving strong. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. HANNAH FORD ROAD (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (19.27) in a Grade 5 at Dubbo. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Should play a prominent role. BELLA KEEN (3) is worth including.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 340m at this track. This looks too tough.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Dubbo over 318m in 18.72 last start, beating Ricky Bobby. Can make it two on the bounce.
