Gosford Race 1 - Welcome To Gbota Gosford
BACKYARD FRIENDS (5) is in hot form after clocking a brilliant 29.49 victory two back then followed up with a 25.17 win at Maitland over 450m last time. Can measure up again if runs up to recent times. GYPSY IBROX (8) could manage only sixth at this track last time but impressed when clocking an exceptional 29.43 over 515m at The Gardens three starts back. Has the ability and can find winning form again. KAELIX NITRO (2) was safely held last time finishing a 9 length fifth at The Gardens (23.60) but back to the scene of his latest victory. Has a good record here at this journey. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Can do much better this time. SENTOSA (1) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.23) in a Grade 5, finishing a 13 length eighth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Among the chances on best.

Was out of placings last time (23.60) at The Gardens in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Has two successes and four minors from nine starts from box 2. Makes strong appeal.

Hit the ground running and set it up early last time, clocking 25.17 with a 2.25 lengths win at Maitland over 450m and making it back to back wins. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.49) over 388m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished fifth over 324m at Richmond Straight, beaten 4 lengths. Prepared to risk this time.
