Gunnedah Race 6

Gapnsw.com.au 1-3 Win

Stake: $3,947

MOTOR CITY TIG (3) finds it hard to win. Finished third (20.46) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. One of the contenders. FANTASTIC ELLE (1) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 5 lengths back in third (25.39) at this track in a Grade 5 over 431m. Hard to beat again. FEED THE METER (6) missed the frame latest when sixth at this track (20.29) but scored five back at The Gardens (15.90). Yet to win here but has run some good races. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Leading chance. MISS MULGOWIE (2) is worth a look over a shorter journey this time.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (25.39) at this track over 431m. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (25.42) over 431m at this track. Has a low draw but needs to bounce back.
