Gosford Race 8 - Ontrack Insider
UNLEASH SHIRLEY (2) has a strong record here with two wins and a minor from six starts. Was out of placings last time (30.43) at The Gardens in a Grade 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 12 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. SUDDEN SURPRISE (6) was a little disappointing last start at The Gardens when 4th (23.06) over 400m. Has never missed the frame here at the trip including one win. Worth another chance. NOVA LASS (1) found trouble in the run at this course and distance last time and fell. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the rails draw. Has the ability and can measure up. AVIATION (7) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 3 length second but did clock a fast 22.22 over the 388m trip. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Nowra (20.71) beating Firefly Gal in a Grade 5 on July 1. Risky starter, this will test.

Missed the frame latest (23.06) when fourth over 400m at The Gardens in a Grade 4. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Good effort last time when third (18.57) over 320m at Richmond. Drawn wide. Deserves respect.

Was fifth in a NG two back then given a eight months break after failing to finish last time at The Gardens. May be worth another chance but happy to watch this time.
