Gawler Race 7

The Bunyip (N/P) Stake Pr2 Division1

Prize Money: $990

LONG GULLY SHACK (8) Crept into 5th last time around here and has a positive draw. Putting up notable efforts since resuming from a break. Will be trying to topple them late. Look for a bold run. MANIPULATION (7) Made some ground late when 3rd last run at Murray Bridge Straight in 17.0s over 300m and returns to a rise in trip. Each way appeal. MAESTRO LUKE (1) Finished well when 2nd last start at this venue in 23.32s over 400m and has minimal work to do from the draw. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Can feature. DEEP PURPLE (5) Ran well when 3rd last time at Angle Park. Should be going forward early. Each way all day.

Managed to run into 2nd last start around here in 23.32s over 400m and will appreciate a good draw. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Should be in the finish.

Attacked the line when 3rd last run at Angle Park in 20.04s over 342m. Should get going late. Knockout chance.

Did well to run into 3rd last run at Murray Bridge Straight in 17.0s over 300m and returning to more ground. Won't be far away during the run. Gets a chance against these.

Chased well when 5th last time here and gets a favourable box. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Will attract plenty of interest.
