Gosford Race 10

Ladbrokes Lightning 5Th Grade Ht5 H

Stake: $2,541

GOLDEN GORT (6) was unfavoured last start but gave a huge sight when led for much of the way to place (22.91) at The Gardens in a Grade 4/5 over 400m. Can measure up this time. CHRISTMAS DAY (8) flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 22.98 when a neck winner over 401m at Richmond. Capable of going well again. MY LADY ASH (7) was out of placings last time (23.09) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Looks one of the chances. GREAT NORTH (2) is likely to have admirers.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (23.06) over 400m at Maitland. Boxed the fence this time. Will need plenty of luck.

Missed the frame last start when a 9 length fifth (22.82) at Maitland. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Has ability and worth including.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 388m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.8 lengths third at The Gardens but did record a decent 22.91 over the 400m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by a neck at Richmond (22.98) beating Gundangara Boy in a Grade 5 on December 22. Hard to go past again.
