Gawler Race 5

The Bunyip (Sa Owned) Grade 5 Series H Pr1 Divisio

Stake: $2,138

VELVET LEGEND (7) Looked good when 2nd last start here. Has plenty of early speed. Tracking very well this preparation. Fights on bravely so consider. TEXAS BANDIT (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at this venue but will be dropping in distance. Has good early speed and will be nicely positioned. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. REFERENT POWER (4) Not up to standard when 5th last start at Murray Bridge Straight. Can show a better performance this time and ideal trip as proven previously. Back to more ground. Respect. FLYING ARTIE (2) Lacklustre showing when 7th last run at Angle Park. Going well this preparation. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Was $3.40 and tailed off when 5th last start at Murray Bridge Straight. Can show a better performance this time and strong performer at this distance in the past. Good chance at a nice price.

Did well when 3rd last time here but back to a shorter distance. Will be positive in the run early. Performing impressively since coming back from a spell. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
