Gunnedah Race 8

Gunnedah Hot Bread

Stake: $3,068

IMPERIAL CHOP (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (20.81) at this track over 340m. Has a good record here at this journey. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Rates on top in this line up. SALAMAT (3) was quickly into stride and burnt early from out wide where she gave a sight, finishing second (19.79) and beaten half a length over 340m at this track. Will give a great sight again. SPIRIT CHANA (2) has not raced since scoring (22.12) over 340m at this track ten weeks ago. This looks easier and expected to run well. BEAR MAN (8) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 20.06, beating Lektra Bert. Last start finished last in a Mix 3/4 on March 4 over 340m at this track behind Levings beaten 33 lengths (22.12). Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 19.79 over 340m at this track. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 340m at this track. Others hold stronger claims.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 19.73, beating Casual Escape. Last start finished 7th on April 29 over 340m at this track behind My Machine beaten 6 lengths (20.30) in a NG. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
