Gunnedah Race 8 - Peel Valley Traffic Control 5Th Grade Heat 2 H
BETTER LIGHT UP (8) was in the money last time at Dubbo (23.17) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Has already won two times from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat. SHORTY (3) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (23.25) at Dubbo. Cannot be left out. SAN FRAN (5) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 5 win two back (24.92) at this track. Can feature with the right run. MORTAR (2) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Won two starts back at Muswellbrook over 336m in 19.61. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at The Gardens at Grade 5 a week-and-a-half ago. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Was a winner three back at Tamworth then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (25.53) at this track. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.
