Gunnedah Race 3

Mark Hughes Foundation Masters

Stake: $2,495

NANGAR ARCHIE (8) steps out for the first time at this track. Strong winner last time by 5.5 lengths at Dubbo in a Mix 1/2/3 in one of the quickest times on the program (18.14). Looks the testing material. BEAU BUSH (6) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by half a length at this track in a handy 19.77. Awkwardly drawn but goes well at this distance. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Should be in this for a long way. RADLEY ERSKIN (2) could manage only second but ran fast time (18.35) at Dubbo over 318m. Harder here but expected to measure up. BETTY BUSH (3) can sneak into the finish.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a one length third over 340m at this track, clocking 19.84. Right in the mix here.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 6 length fifth over 340m at this track. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 340m at this track (19.77), beating Head Them Up. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 5.5 lengths at Dubbo (18.14) beating Boy George Cargo in a Mix 1/2/3 on June 22. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.
