Gunnedah Race 5 - Red Chief Hotel
MY IRISH (3) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.20) last time out at this track. Has never missed the frame here from seven starts. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Deserves serious consideration. ARMATREE STRIPE (6) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.5 lengths second (25.03) over 431m at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in this for a long way. MULLY THE MASTER (7) goes very well this course and distance starting five times for two wins and three minors. Below best last time at this track (31.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fourth. Looks one of the chances. NICMAC STAR (2) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (25.03) at this track over 431m. Has a strong 24.95 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.
