Gunnedah Race 9

Boggabri Mines

Prize Money: $2,335

SUNNY BLUE (8) is an accomplished sprinter with a great record at the short dashes. Was fourth last time (20.35) over 340m at this track in a Grade 5. Solid record here at this trip including six wins. Can make amends. OCCULENT (4) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Canya Handle It (30.23) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Should play a prominent role. DAM PANAMA (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (20.30) in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. MERGER (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Could manage only seventh last time but turned heads the start prior when he clocked a solid 29.63 over 515m finishing second at The Gardens. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.

Hit the frame at final run of last campaign, finishing second (20.22) at this track before going for a four months spell. Yet to win when resuming but has notched two places. Will need the right run.
