Gunnedah Race 5

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

DAZZLE DARLING (1) finished well back at Grafton last time when a 7 length sixth (25.99) but scored five back at Grafton (20.17). Can bounce back. MORTAR (2) produced a moderate performance last time when eighth at this track over 431m behind Kiando Diva (25.90) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Worth following up. RHI'S GIRL (7) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 2 lengths away in third (20.19) at this track in a Grade 5 over 340m. Expected to be in this for a long way. SAY NO MAY (3) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on March 23 over 450m at Grafton behind Kia McGraw beaten 7 lengths (25.99). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 12 length eighth over 340m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
