Gunnedah Race 3

Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots

Stake: $3,421

DAZZLE DARLING (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (25.99) from Box 1 at Grafton over 450m. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Has ability and can bounce back. DRINK MICKEYS (1) was among the minors three back at this track then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where he has two wins. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. GOOFY GILLIGAN (7) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 19.91 beating Nali. Will go close again if runs up to latest.

Was out of placings last time (20.35) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Box stats strong with two wins and two placings from five starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Placed only run here over this trip. Last start finished 6th over 450m at Grafton beaten 7 lengths (25.99) behind Kia McGraw in a Grade 5 on March 23. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at Tamworth. Hard to envisage a win.
