Gunnedah Race 3

Railway Hotel

Prize Money: $2,655

SHORTY BOY (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.62) at Grafton. Form here at this distance is sound. Key chance in this line up. PAYNE CARGO (5) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts seven wins and four placings. Placed last time (19.68) at this track in a Free For All, finishing second and beaten half a length. Among the main chances. AVA'S MILO (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 7 length sixth (25.47) but recorded best time of the card when winning three back. Cannot be taken lightly. MAYBE YES (7) did the right thing for favourite backers last time and is in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.90) in a NG, finishing a 11 length seventh. Has two wins and three placings from 10 starts from the draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (19.61) beating Hara's Rocky in a Grade 5 on July 16. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (19.68) at this track over 340m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length fifth (20.15) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Strong performance to win by a nose at this track over 340m (19.75) beating Rutland Snickers in Grade 4/5 on July 30. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
