Gunnedah Race 9 - Mark Hughes Foundation Masters
FIVE MILE ROSE (4) is racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (20.05) over 340m at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Capable of going well again. VERY BEST BUDDY (2) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 340m behind Armatree Diesel (20.66) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Expected to give a good account. MARVIN MONELLI (1) was out of the placings last time when seventh at this track (20.27) but did record second best time of the card when winning four back. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Leading chance. VALENTINO BEACH (8) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Finished seventh last start at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently. Has a decent record when drawn the inside but prefer the place this line-up.

Last start finished 6th on November 5 over 340m at this track behind Armatree Diesel beaten 12 lengths (20.66) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 1.75 lengths third (20.05) over 340m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Finished second last start (31.69) at big odds over 527m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looking to others.

Was out of placings last time (20.71) at this track in a Mix 2/3, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Has two wins and two placings from seven starts from the draw. Looks a place chance at best.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (19.97) over 340m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but is in the mix.
