Gunnedah Race 5 - Red Chief Motel

ARMATREE VIOLET (1) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where she gave a sight, finishing second (19.87) and beaten 5.5 lengths over 340m at this track. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and three minor placings from 12 starts. Must come into calculations. TRACEY TARO (2) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.57) at Dubbo and bringing up her 14th career win. Is yet to taste defeat at this course and distance. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. In form and can go on with it. SHORTY (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (25.08) in a NG at this track. Has a good record here including five wins. Shapes as one to consider. IMPERIAL CHOP (4) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 340m at this track clocking 19.87. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5 lengths in 24.91, beating Armatree Stripe. Last start finished last over 431m at this track beaten 6 lengths (25.31) behind Better Light Up in a Grade 3/4 on July 9. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 6 lengths behind Ava's Milo over 431m. Is a danger.
