Armidale Race 3 - The Galloping Greens 1976 Premiers (Bm50)
OLUFSEN (1) brings the most convincing recent form, having won a Class 1 at Barraba by two and a half lengths before going under by only a long neck in a Class 3 at Tamworth. He was bumped late there, yet still held third, and the 3kg claim helps offset the big impost. CARBROOK (7) has to be respected second-up despite a plain Muswellbrook return, because this is a kinder setup than the Class 1 he contested there and his record at this venue is solid enough to give him a genuine chance. CITY GOLD SPEED (6) was disappointing at Muswellbrook five days ago, but his Dubbo third in a Class 1 two back reads well enough for this grade and the quick back-up has been flagged as a positive. NORTHERN BOOGIE (3) was unwanted in betting when ninth at Tamworth, though he was only beaten three and a half lengths. His proven track-and-trip record keeps him in the mix.

Went within a long neck in a Class 3 at Tamworth last start, travelling well behind the leaders before being bumped late and just missing behind Brighella. That followed a well-supported Class 1 win at Barraba, where he beat Darling Take Care by two and a half lengths. The 3kg claim helps with the big weight and he sets the standard.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a Tamworth trial two weeks ago to bring him on. He ended last campaign second last in a Class 2 at this venue, beaten just over seven lengths, though he was held up on the home turn and bumped at straightening. Has placed at this venue, but the 1100m return looks a place hope at best.

Dropped out to ninth in a Class 3 at Tamworth last start, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward, and there was no obvious excuse. Two back he charged home for fifth behind Brighella at the same venue, beaten just under two lengths at big odds. Best suited as a place chance.

Returns from a three-month freshening after a close third in a BM55 at Kilcoy, where he jumped awkwardly, settled back and worked home evenly to be beaten just under a length. His Casino run prior in BM58 grade was plain after covering ground and failing to quicken. Has place appeal if ready to fire off the break.

Returns from a six-month spell with two trials since last racing. His final run before the break was a fair fourth in a BM58 at Inverell, making ground from well back, while the Tamworth BM82 run prior was well held at big odds.

Backs up quickly after finishing tenth in a BM58 at Muswellbrook, where he was near the top of an open market but gave away a big start and was only fair late. His previous third in a Class 1 at Dubbo was more reliable, beaten just over a length on soft ground. His Dubbo Class 1 third gives him a realistic place chance.

Resumed in a Class 1 at Muswellbrook and weakened late after being prominent, finishing sixth and beaten five and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. He is better suited second-up into this CG BM50, and his record at this venue is tidy with two placings from two visits. Two placings from two starts at this venue make him a live danger.
