Gilgandra Race 2 - Community Bank Gilgandra Mdn Plate
STUCK IN THE GORGE (7) led into the straight last start over 1600m at Tamworth but could not sustain the pressure with a fading ninth. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and can get off the mark here. ERION (1) finished a narrow fourth last start over 1175m at Albury, an improvement on his eighth at Bathurst the run before. Has the ability to take care of this field. FORWARDING (5) is a four-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 1200m at Dubbo after he was well back on straightening. Expected to feature in the finish this time. MY SWEETHEART (9) showed good early dash before weakening to run tenth over 1200m at Tamworth on January 31. Assess on the good minor placing two starts back.

Second run back. First-up after eight months sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Scone 3yo+ Mdn on January 29 over 900m, 7 len behind St Faith's carrying 59kg at $26. Previously second-up 6th of 9 at Kembla Grange Mid Mdn-Sw on May 10 over 1400m, slow going 11 len behind Monte Veebee carrying 59kg at $13. Likely to find this out of reach.

Last start 6th of 9 at Dubbo Mdn on February 2 over 1200m, 5 len behind Vicious Rumour with 56.5kg at $41. The start before that struggled in the run home; 6th of 8 at this track Super Mdn on January 4 over 1280m, 6 len behind Tropic carrying 57.5kg at $16. Best form stacks up nicely and worth another chance.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Saxon Warrior out of La Cosa Nostra. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Wyong January 28. Hard to tip him with any confidence at debut.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Canberra Acton Mdn June 6 over 1280m, 8 len behind Cifonelli with 56.5kg at $2.
