Gunnedah Race 3

CASUAL ESCAPE (1) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 340m at this track, taking a Grade 4/5 in a head turning 19.57. Hot win three back and looks the one to beat here. MAYBE YES (2) failed to feature last start at this track, but prior to that won by half a length at this track (19.62) beating Scootin' Scooby in a Grade 5 on May 2. Cannot be taken lightly. LAURIE'S FERRARI (4) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by one length (19.53) at this track. Harder here but expected to feature again. PESSIMISM (3) generally performs well here at this distance.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a one length second over 340m this track in 19.60. Key chance on best form.
