Gunnedah Race 5 - Red Chief Motel
UNHURRIED (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 25.16 beating Mythic. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Expected to be right there at the finish again. EVA CARGO (7) has a strong overall record having seven wins and two places from 11 starts but was out of the money last time when fifth (25.53) over 431m at this track. Will go close here with a clear run. ARMATREE JUDO (2) boasts a strong record this course with four wins and five minors from 12 tries. Hit the frame latest (25.15) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Can feature in the finish. ZIPPING HOLLY (4) has claims again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Good performance to win by one length at this track over 431m (25.16) beating Mythic in Grade 5 on August 20. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Stick with him.

Hit the frame latest (25.15) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Has never missed the placings from three starts off this box. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.31) over 400m at Dubbo. Drawn close to the inside. Prefer others.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 431m at this track in 25.18, set up by a fast early sectional. Should be around the mark.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 431m. Last start finished 5th on August 20 over 431m at this track behind Armatree Pesto beaten 7 lengths (25.53) in a Grade 5. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
