Gunnedah Race 7

Ladbrokes Punter Assist 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

NO RUPEES (8) hit the ground running off the tricky draw last start and was never headed (24.88) at this track in a Grade 5 over 431m. Won at his only start from this draw. Looks the one to beat. MIDNIGHT HAZARD (7) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors five starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (24.93) at this track over 431m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Overdue and is among the main hopes. AUSSIE ZAC (6) finished fourth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in his dazzling 19.36 win at this track over 340m. Smart winner two back and looks a key chance on that form.

Well fancied last start but could only manage fourth over 340m at this track in 19.93. Had been going well prior to that. Looms as a top contender.

Racing well without winning, recording five minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (24.93) over 431m at this track. Yet to win but has been in the money two times from four starts off this box. Right in the mix.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 4.5 lengths over 431m at this track (24.88). Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Dual acceptor. Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 13 length seventh over 320m at Richmond. Can't make much of a case this time.
