Gunnedah Race 1

Ultra Lubricants Country Boosted Mdn Plate

Stake: $32,400

TAKEOVER LAD (3) registered his seventh minor placing from eleven runs when a well-held third over 1400m at Coonabarabran a month ago. Back in trip while fresh looks a good move. Ready to finally break through in this modest maiden with winkers on for the first time. MUSUMECI (1) started favourite on debut recently at Tamworth but found the 1000m too slick. Better placed out to this trip and should give a much better account. STAR OF SALISBURY (2) worked hard to find the lead then felt the pinch late and missed the placings over this distance at Mudgee last time out. Fitter for two runs back and looms as a serious contender. YANABAH (4) settled well back and was never in contention over 1000m at Tamworth first-up. Will be more competitive out to this journey. The winner should come from this quartet, with RED SUNSET (7) best of the others.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 7 at Coonabarabran Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Instead carrying 58.5kg at $1.65. The start before that second last in a small field at Beaumont (Newcastle) Ctry Mdn on March 24 over 1350m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Sirius Flyer carrying 59kg at $9.50. Making headway. Looks ideally placed to break the ice.

Second run back. First-up after five months from last on the turn 7th of 10 at Tamworth Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 24 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind This One Time carrying 57.5kg at $5. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Armidale Ctry Mdn on September 22 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Swanbrook Gem carrying 58.5kg at $13. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

On debut. Two-year-old gelding by King's Legacy out of Vital Mist. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Wyong April 24. Doubt he will make an impression here so prepared to risk.
