Gawler Race 8

THE BUNYIP (N/P) Masters Series F PR1 Division1

Prize Money: $2,095

CHICKEN KNIGHT (1) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at this track and distance (23.04) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by 4.5 lengths. Draws the rails again and looks the one to beat. LONG GULLY ASH (7) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from Rev Leon in second (20.02) at Angle Park. Must be included in calculations. CARE FACTOR (2) was sent out big odds last time but scored an upset win in a Invitation at Murray Bridge Straight (17.13). One of the leading chances again. BRINDLE BENNY (8) is a chance after winning last time.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 23.04 last start, beating Terrific Baz. Likes the rails so had been in fine form, hitting the frame three times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can measure up again.
