Gunnedah Race 4

Prize Money: $2,655

COOKIE MAN (1) goes very well this trip starting 36 times for 17 wins and 10 minors. Comes off a (19.58) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Free For All over 340m at this track. Rates a leading player. FLYING TANGO (2) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 6 length win at this track over 340m in 19.57. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. ARMATREE PASTA (6) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and nine minors from 20 tries. Placed last time (19.69) at this track in a Free For All, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. MY HARLEY (4) has won at this course and distance so worth including.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a nose at this track over 340m (20.16) beating Kiando Piper in Grade 5 on October 29. Has claims if at his best.

Finished in the minors last time in a Free For All at this track when a 1.5 lengths second but did run a swift 19.69 over the 340m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by half a length at this track (20.03) beating On Appeal in a Grade 4/5 on October 22. Likely to find this a bit tough.
