Gunnedah Race 9

Ladbrokes Chief Havoc Cup Heat 3 H

Stake: $6,021

CHERYL BLUE (8) caught the eye when clocking a dazzling 24.53 over 431m at this track. In form and looks the one to beat again. SWIFT BREE (3) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at Dubbo over 400m behind From The Disco (23.42) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Leading chance. FANTASTIC DAVE (7) was a last start winner (31.13) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Strike rate this distance strong having won four of eight tries. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. TALK ABOUT CLASS (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing in good time.

Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on May 17 over 400m at Dubbo behind From The Disco beaten 7 lengths (23.42). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Won two starts back at Temora over 457m in 25.63. Followed that up with a minor placing over 527m at this track at NG a week-and-a-half ago. In form and another win would not surprise.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at The Gardens (29.56) beating Kenzie Robbo in a Grade 4/5 on May 10. Others make more appeal.

Strong performance to win by a neck at this track over 527m (31.13) beating Sammy's Beach in Grade 5 on May 21. Returned in great order and can make it two on the bounce.
