Gunnedah Race 7

Mornington Butchery

Prize Money: $3,415

ARMATREE STRIPE (1) stuck on well last time to finish 0.8 lengths back in second (25.17) at this track in a Grade 5 over 431m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. One of the leading chances. SCOOTIN' SCOOBY (3) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.5 lengths third over 431m at this track, clocking 25.23. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to be in this for a long way. VICTOR CARGO (2) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 24.95 to score two back then following on with a 30.73 win over 527m at this track. Has the ability and can measure up again. ARMATREE ASAFA (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (30.29) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.5 lengths third over 431m this track in 25.23. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 3, scoring three times. Go close.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at this track last start over 527m. Has run blistering time here with a 30.2 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.
