Gunnedah Race 7

Mornington Butchery

Stake: $4,166

ARMATREE ASAFA (6) Honest race when 2nd last time here and hard to fault at the trip. Won't be far away during the run. Going well this preparation. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. SCOOTIN' SCOOBY (3) Competitive effort when 3rd last run at this venue. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Jamie Bush kennel are running hot lately. Winnable race. VICTOR CARGO (2) Did a good job when winning last run at this track. Undefeated last 2 starts. Likely to be well placed early. Winning claims. ARMATREE STRIPE (1) Disappointing run when 8th last run at the track but will appreciate a good draw. Consider an each way bet.
