GOING: S(5)

GUNNEDAH GOLF CLUB COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3.5m 1200m-350m. True Remainder.  

Cracking early tempo with Ellro and Showtime Sassy leading the way. SANZENO (3) resumes for the Mack Griffith yard after doing all his racing in Victoria. Since fitted with a recent 1000m trial win at Scone on June 12. Blinkers come off and has the numbers to figure prominently first-up. FANTASTIC BEAST (1) Saxon Warrior gelding resuming after making some ground late on debut when sixth over 1200m at this track on January 8. Fitted with two trials and gelded over the break. Forward showing anticipated. BEECHUNO (7) fitter after two runs back and expecting more out to the 1200m today. Ran on late over the 1000m when fourth at Scone on June 11. Can add value to the exotics. SCOOTALOO (11) returns after nine months in the paddock and lone placing came at Beaumont (Newcastle) last time in. Has two trials under the belt for this and gets the blinkers added for the first time. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sanzeno to win.
