Gosford Race 12

Goldmine Heats Next Week

Prize Money: $2,655

TRUNKEY CHIEF (7) is on a hot streak recording a 22.74 win over 401m at Richmond last start following on from an outstanding 22.01 success at Richmond over 388m the start prior. Expected to go close again if runs up to recent times. LAURIE'S RUPEE (5) is on a hot streak recording a 22.44 win over 388m at this track last start following on from a dominant 22.05 victory at this track over 388m the start prior. Flying lately and looks a key chance on that form. SILENT MINUTE (2) scored by a space in one of the fastest times of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 6th and beaten 31 lengths at Richmond (25.11). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Should be in this for a long way. YOUNG ENERGY (4) was in the money last start in fast time and should feature again.

Surprised two starts back at Richmond to win by 0.8 lengths in 22.85, beating Bauxite Blinder. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on August 5 over 401m at Richmond behind Boston Strong beaten 31 lengths (25.11). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Won again in quick time after leading claiming his three straight wins at Richmond over 401m (22.74). With even luck looks hard to beat again.
