Gunnedah Race 4

Railway Hotel 1-3 Win

Stake: $3,762

ARMATREE JUDO (7) was a winner (19.85) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Warrants plenty of respect. VICTOR CARGO (5) has been out of the placings at his last two starts but prior to that posted an outstanding 19.57 win over 340m at this track. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. RAINBOW RAY (8) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 525m at Taree Super Track. Hard to recommend this time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 431m at this track. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, solid claims this line-up.
