Gunnedah Race 2

Tg Railway Hotel 8-15

Prize Money: $1,350

VERY BEST BUDDY (1) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (20.13) at this track in a Grade 5 over 340m. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from five starts. Will go close again if runs up to latest. ROBBIE'S POWER (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (20.89) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. The form out of his last race has been franked. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. DI'S AN ANGEL (7) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, one length from the winner Marvellous Mel (20.37) at this track. Expecting another good run. ZULU MAY (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.
