Gunnedah Race 7

Peel Valley Traffic Control 5Th Grade Final F

Prize Money: $6,675

ARMATREE VIOLET (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (24.87) at this track. Has never missed the frame here from three starts. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Deserves a win and gets her chance. IMPRESS SPIETH (1) is a handy dog who jumped from box 2 last time out and scored by 1.75 lengths at this track (24.78). Strong form has emerged from his last run. Leading chance again. IMPERIAL CHOP (6) lit up the clock in 19.55 when winning a NG over 340m at this track last start. Harder here but expected to measure up. RUTLAND SNICKERS (7) scored last time and can measure up again.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths second (24.87) over 431m at this track and making it two placings on end. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a one length second but did run a swift 24.87 over the 431m journey. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 431m at this track in a handy (24.92), beating Prince Vinnie. Will find this a bit tougher, would be better placed in something easier.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 3.5 lengths win at this track over 340m in 19.55. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Good performance to post a big 6 lengths win at this track over 431m (24.82) beating Just Julia in Grade 5 on May 28. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
