Gunnedah Race 12

Carter's Pharmacy Gunnedah

Prize Money: $2,335

DUST CARGO (1) has a strong overall record having three wins and five places from 12 starts including a last start third (20.09) over 340m at this track. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. VINNIE ZACAPA (2) struggled in tougher grade last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (20.02) beating Minh Tommy in a Grade 5 on August 20. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Warrants plenty of respect. ELSA CARGO (5) drew the inside and won last time at this track and distance (19.77), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Expected to be in the finish. WILD EXTREME (7) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 324m at Richmond Straight. That followed a win two back in 20.28 beating Trading In over 340m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 400m at Maitland. Happy enough to avoid.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 340m (19.77) beating Aston Hurn in Grade 5 on September 3. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (20.06) at this track in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 6 for the first time. Looks a place chance at best.
