Gunnedah Race 9

Ladbrokes Bet Ticker

Prize Money: $1,095

DELICATE ROSE (1) is better than last start when eighth (24.24) in a Grade 5 at The Gardens over 400m. Better than last start and worth following up. SKETCHY STORIES (2) got off the mark last time, scoring by a neck at The Gardens over 272m (16.17). Boxed well here. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. VERY BEST BUDDY (8) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Grade 5 winner two back at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. TONI FIESTA (6) cannot be left out despite coming off a short break.

Good performance to win by a neck at The Gardens over 272m (16.17) beating Songar Belle in Maiden on June 11. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
