Gunnedah Race 3

Railway Hotel

Prize Money: $2,655

PAYNE CARGO (8) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 2.75 lengths into second (19.76) at this track in a NG over 340m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Must come into calculations. SCOOTIN' SCOOBY (4) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a neck (30.85) behind Cheryl Blue at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves a win and gets his chance. RUTLAND SNICKERS (1) was a last start winner (25.14) from Box 8 at this track. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. MY MACHINE (6) scored in dominant fashion last time. That form reads well.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 431m at this track in a handy (25.14), beating Casual Escape. In form and is right in the mix again.

In the money last time at this track (30.85) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a neck second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 19.89, beating Salamat. Last start finished last over 318m at Dubbo beaten 11 lengths (19.09) behind Kaycee Tracey in a Grade 4/5 on July 11. Prepared to overlook.

In the money last time at this track (19.76) in a NG, finishing a 2.75 lengths second. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Makes strong appeal.
