Gosford Race 5

Ontrack Insider

Prize Money: $2,335

OLD FRIENDS (1) comes here after a decent win at Maitland over 400m in 22.48. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. SAPPHIRE LONDON (2) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Maiden winner three back (22.67) at this track over 388m. Well placed here and should do much better. SKETCHY GET IN (3) hit the ground running and was prominent throughout but faded out of it when 6th at Richmond in a Grade 5. Cannot be taken lightly. RUBY TANUKI (7) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won by 0.8 lengths at Maitland (22.48) beating No Expression in a Maiden on August 24. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Looks to be back in fine fettle. Makes plenty of appeal.
