Gunnedah Race 9

Ladbrokes Bet Ticker

Stake: $2,495

BALLINA (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (20.12) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to do much better this time. JOE CARGO (7) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (19.91) at this track over 340m. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including five wins, from seven starts. Should be about the mark. ROYMAN (4) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Latest effort finished 4th over 340m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (20.12) behind His Fernando in a Grade 4 on June 30. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (20.03) at big odds over 340m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.

Nearing another win after his success on May 14 at this track over 340m. Last start was fourth over 340m in 19.91, behind Chancy Nancy. Form from this box is very strong, including five wins. Hard to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 431m at this track. Others have better credentials.
