Gunnedah Race 8

Gunnedah Hot Bread

Prize Money: $2,335

DORA CARGO (8) was a course and distance winner (19.82) last time also from the same draw, scoring by 7 lengths in a Maiden. Should be in this for a long way. CANYA JELLY BEAN (7) was below best last time when fifth at Q Lakeside but prior to that among the placings in quick time (22.54) at Q Lakeside. Expected to bounce back to best. MARVELLOUS MEL (1) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at this track. Can improve sharply here. BORN FEARLESS (5) will give backers a sight.

Made an impressive debut when making light work of a wide draw with a fast early sectional and clocking 19.82 in a 7 length win at this track over 340m. Looks promising and can measure up again.
