Gunnedah Race 6

Farrell's 4X2 Dog Biscuits

Stake: $2,541

SPECIAL LAD (5) comes off a (19.41) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 340m at this track. Has already won out of this draw. Expected to be in the finish. BETTER LIGHT UP (4) is a fast dog well performed over the sprint races. Kept coming to fill the minor placings over 400m at Dubbo (23.23) in a Grade 4/5. Has a strong record at this distance including three wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to feature again. SNOWFEST (8) was a last-start winner from the rails at this track and distance (19.61) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by one length. Rates a leading chance again. LET IT CRANK (3) cannot be left out over a shorter journey.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 4 length third over 400m Dubbo in 23.23. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Impressive performance to score by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording an enormous 19.41 over the 340m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
