Gunnedah Race 5

Ladbrokes Odds Surge

Prize Money: $1,275

RUSTIC RANGO (1) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 340m (20.00). Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Worth another chance. BEST NAN (2) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and four placings from 12 starts. In the money last time at Potts Park (18.83) in a NG, finishing a 8 length third. Looks suited here and can measure up. CLUSTER ONE (5) finished well back at this track last time when a 11 length eighth (25.36) but recorded best time of the card when winning three back. Bold showing expected. LIAR GUY (8) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Missed the frame latest (20.00) when fifth over 340m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from eight starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

In the money last time at Potts Park (18.83) in a NG, finishing a 8 length third. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Makes strong appeal.
