Gunnedah Race 8

Gunnedah Hot Bread 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $2,335

ARMATREE PASTA (5) is in top form, scoring by 3.5 lengths (19.67) over 340m at this track and making it back to back wins. Can continue on his winning ways. ANOTHER ARTIST (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 3.5 lengths second (19.92) in a Grade 5 at this track. Leading chance. TRALEE JOEY (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (20.20) in a Grade 5 at this track. Great chance to atone. RITZA KEVIE (2) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (19.92) at this track over 340m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished second on May 2 over 340m at this track behind Victor Cargo, beaten 6 lengths (19.99) in a Grade 5. Looks a solid contender.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Richmond over 320m in 18.43. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 320m at Richmond at Grade 5 level. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (20.04) over 340m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 340m at this track in a handy 19.67 beating Another Artist. In top form and can make it three straight.
