Gunnedah Race 8

Ladbrokes Same Race Multi

Prize Money: $2,310

GOLD MINER (2) was in winning form two back (19.66) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won five of seven tries. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Rates on top in this line up. SANDY BALE (1) was in the money two back in a Grade 5 at Muswellbrook then jumped from a squeeze draw last time and was not far away when third (20.15) over 340m at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. MORTAR (5) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from Salamat in second (19.85) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must be included in calculations. BEAR MAN (6) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Muswellbrook three back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (20.08) at this track over 340m. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.
