Gunnedah Race 8

Ladbrokes Bet Ticker

Prize Money: $3,290

SHORTY BOY (4) got around 340m in a sharp 19.68 when winning a Grade 4/5 at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. IMPERIAL CHOP (3) is a promising type who notched his 10th career success when too good (25.08) at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Has definite claims. LEVINGS (2) ran a good time (30.95) when placing three back at this track but has missed the frame since, last time out finishing fourth (19.93) at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. ASTON DEPP (1) jumps at a shorter trip and still warrants respect.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by one length at The Gardens (22.96) beating Make Your Stand in a Grade 5 on June 14. Well placed and among the chances here.

Last start finished 4th on June 18 over 340m at this track behind Betty Bush beaten 4.5 lengths (19.93) in a Mix 1/2/3. Looks a strong winning hope.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 431m in 25.08 last start, beating Hybrid Eve. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Leading chance.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 340m at this track (19.68), beating Ballina. Query squeeze box draw. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
