Gunnedah Race 7

Ladbrokes Same Race Multi 1-4 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

MERRY MERRIWA (8) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 4 lengths (30.69) at Wagga. Rates a top chance again. BANDIT BUGSY (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when eighth at this track over 431m behind Ash Tray Change (25.68) in a Grade 4/5. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Expected to feature in the finish. RUPERTUS (1) was below best at his last start when 6th at Dubbo following a third place finish (33.52) at Muswellbrook two back. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. BAGO SWEETIE (4) was a surprise last-start placegetter worth considering.
