Gunnedah Race 5

Red Chief Motel 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $3,235

ARMATREE JUDO (5) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 5.5 lengths away in second (25.37). Strong form has emerged from her last run. Well-placed to take this out. ZIPPING HOLLY (4) has gone well at her last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten 7 lengths (25.53). Has a good record here including a win and seven placings. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Bold showing expected. SWIFT HANK (1) is better than last start when fourth (20.24) in a Grade 5 at this track over 340m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Worth another chance. ZIPPING FRIDA (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (20.24) at this track in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Looks well placed and should feature.

Did a good job two starts back at Dubbo to win by 6 lengths in 23.55, beating Hey Lacey. Last start finished 6th on July 11 over 400m at Dubbo behind Total Treasure beaten 17 lengths (23.84) in a Grade 5. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 7 length third over 431m this track in 25.53. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

In the money last time at this track (25.37) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 9 lengths behind Cowboy Carter over 431m. Can't make much of a case this time.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 9 lengths behind Rutland Snickers over 340m. Would be better placed in something easier.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
