Gunnedah Race 5

Red Chief Motel

Prize Money: $3,235

CASUAL ESCAPE (1) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (20.08) at this track in a Grade 5 over 340m. Great chance to get the job done again. LONG DARK ROAD (8) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.23) at this track. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course and distance. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expecting another good run. FANTASTIC ELLE (2) was well supported last start but didn't deliver when seventh (25.86), beaten 6 lengths. Finished third the start before. The form out of her last race has been franked. Key runner on best form. LITTLE MIMI (7) comes back from a let-up as a top three prospect.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished last on July 16 over 431m at this track behind Armatree Pearler beaten 6 lengths (25.86) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 8 length eighth over 431m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (25.04) beating Long Dark Road in a NG on July 13. Not among the main chances this time.
