Gunnedah Race 9

Ladbrokes Blackbook 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,541

JAKEY BLUE (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 340m behind Hip Drop (20.72) in a Grade 5. Worth another chance. TRALEE LUNA (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. In the money last time at Tamworth (20.47) in a Grade 4, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Can hit the frame with the right run. FROM THE DISCO (3) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fifth (24.02) at Dubbo. Warrants plenty of respect. WILD DIOR (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th in a Grade 5 on April 9 over 340m at this track behind Hip Drop beaten 13 lengths (20.72). Looks a strong winning hope.

Nearing another win after her success on March 8 at Muswellbrook over 336m. Last start was second over 340m in 20.55, behind Settle. In the money last time and looks well placed. Can go one better.
