Prize Money: $1,095

STRATAVON BEAR (1) stuck on well last time to finish 0.8 lengths back in third (20.19) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 340m. Sure to be about the mark. WHISKEY RED (6) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished third (19.72) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Expected to be in this for a long way. BAD BOY BRUCE (4) got off the mark with his maiden win two back then well beaten latest finishing a 8 length seventh at Taree Super Track over 300m (18.33). Expected to do much better this time. SPOT ON FERNANDO (8) is not to be discarded.

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 (20.19) at Gunnedah over 340m. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by one length at Potts Park (19.03) beating I'm A Bullet in a Maiden on June 14. Leading chance on best form.
