Gunnedah Race 3

We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $2,310

ALL ABOUT PIPER (1) filled a minor placing two back then scored her maiden win (19.76) at this track over 340m last time. Boxed well here. Has placed six times at this track. Expected to go close again. CHARGE THE CARD (3) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed 28 of 43 career runs. Has hit the frame at her last three runs, the latest finishing second (19.76) at this track. Has never been out of the placings from six starts out of this box. Expected to be in this for a long way. MORTAR (8) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 19.95. Draws out wide but has a good record over this journey. Can make it back-to-back wins. MIDNIGHT ASTRID (2) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Solid performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at this track over 340m (19.76) beating Greysynd Gina in Maiden on September 1. Form reads well for this.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (20.36) at this track in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. Makes strong appeal on best.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (19.76) at this track over 340m. Racing well and deserves a win.
