Gunnedah Race 9 - Chief Havoc Cup Heat 3 H
CESSNOCK CURTAIN (7) could manage only seventh at Wentworth Park last time but caught the eye when posting a powerful 29.50 over 515m at The Gardens the start prior. Smart win two back and looks a key chance here. JAKEY BLUE (1) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into third last time out (30.68) over 527m at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. TENACIOUS TALKER (5) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (30.36) at Wentworth Park. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Must be included in calculations. STRUT (2) has strong credentials from this draw.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at this track in 30.68 last time but the start prior recorded an enormous 19.60 over 340m finishing third at this track. Expected to go close with a repeat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (30.04) at big odds over 520m at Wentworth Park. Has a solid record off the tricky draw but looks tested this line up.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 7 length third over 520m at Wentworth Park, clocking 30.36. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.
