Gundagai Race 1

Gary Readford Memorial Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $27,000

TALLINGAS AVANTI (8) excellent debut when supported late in betting to finish a close up third over 1000m at Wangaratta. Promising type who gets weight relief today from the right draw. Ready to get off the mark. KAPOLEI (5) showed good early speed first up for the new yard before tiring in the straight when sixth over 1100m at Nowra. Fitter now in a more appropriate race. Stays in the mix. NOT GUILTY (1) resumes after he struggled on the Ballarat Synthetic track at his last two outings. Assess on his good debut third over the 1100m at Werribee. Each way player. DROVERS DEN (9) is a three-year-old Denman filly from Kuraver on debut from the Gary Colvin yard. Finished third in her only trial over 1000m at Wagga on the heavy surface. Keep safe. FIGHTING FOX (4) resumes. Caught the eye at her second race start when third over 1000m at Wagga Wagga in a Super Maiden. Drawn out and look for her late.

Last start did the work up front then tired 6th of 9 in a F&M Mdn at Nowra on August 10 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Bright Promise with 58.5kg at $4. The run before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 11 in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on June 12 over 1200m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Siriusly Bright with 57kg at $17. Having her second start for the new yard and is capable of testing this field.
