Gunnedah Race 12

Carter's Pharmacy Gunnedah

Prize Money: $2,335

SWIFT HANK (1) flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 19.85 when a half a length winner over 340m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. SWIFT ARIEL (3) got around the 340m at this track to take a Grade 5 in a swift 19.67 for a nose victory. Should be in this for a long way. MARVELLOUS MEL (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 340m behind Hara's Rocky (20.73) in a Grade 5. Worth following up. BAD BOY BANJO (6) has won at this course and distance so worth considering.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 340m in 19.85 last start, beating Mcvee. Likes the rails so key chance on that latest effort.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 340m at this track in a handy 19.67, beating Hara's Rocky. Top chance again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd on October 12 over 340m at this track behind Dust Cargo beaten 1.5 lengths (19.98) in a Grade 4. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.
