Gunnedah Race 11

Prize Money: $3,455

MY MACHINE (1) goes very well this course and distance starting six times for three wins and two minors. Was out of the placings last time (22.54) at Gosford in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. PESSIMISM (2) in the money last time at this track (19.90) in a NG, finishing a nose second. Looks a key chance on best figures. NOAH BONKERS (8) resumed from a break finishing fourth (20.07) at this track in a Grade 3/4. Will be much improved. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. In the mix. IMPERIAL CHOP (7) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have good record over this track and distance. Has run blistering time here with a 19.56 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.96) in a NG, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 431m at this track in a handy (24.98), beating Lumeah Ziggy. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to envisage a win.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 340m in 19.57 last start, beating Imperial Chop. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Won two starts back at this track over 340m in 19.61. Followed that up with a minor placing over 340m at this track at Grade 3/4 four days ago. In form and another win would not surprise.
