Gunnedah Race 2 - Cool Blue Ice Showcase Hcp
WHAT A SCANDAL (2) raced near the speed and was too strong late over this distance at Tamworth last start, chalking up her first win at start three. Very little depth to the exposed form here so she looks a terrific chance to go back-to-back. MISS ANDREAS (9) was backed from $5.50 into $4.40 on debut recently over this distance at Muswellbrook but after showing pace to the corner could not go on with it. Will take a lot from that experience and should show more resilience this afternoon. SPARROW (10) ran a better race last time out when appearing for the second time, making a little late ground to finish fourth over today's journey at Muswellbrook. In the mix if she can make further progress. TIGELLA (5) has gone well in weaker races at her last couple. Harder this time but not out of top four discussions. The Archibald-trained KARAVICE (3) placed in a recent trial and is worth monitoring for market support on debut.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Tamworth Rom Dream April 24 over 1000m defeating Cool Zumbelina carrying 55kg at $2.70. The start before that 2nd of 12 at Tamworth Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1000m, nose behind Putinacall carrying 55kg at $12. Can go to the next level and take this out.

First starter by Showtime out of Dalmatia. Placed at Muswellbrook at his latest trial. Finds a soft race to kick things off so must be respected.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 7 at Muswellbrook Star Kingdom on May 1 over 1000m, 8 len behind Priory Park carrying 57kg at $91. Others look better prospects.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 10 at Binnaway Bm 45 Hcp on May 2 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Brave Enough carrying 55.5kg at $10. The race before that won by a long-neck at Armidale Mdn-Sw April 25 over 1100m in soft going defeating Idol Bye with 52kg at $2.50. Harder this time but capable of a top four finish.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, second last of 14 at Wellington Well Boot on April 12 over 1100m, slow going 9 len behind Hellenic Belle with 54kg at $101. Second-up did the work up front then tired second last of 9 at Muswellbrook Miss Finland on May 1 over 1000m, 3 len behind Hulaland with 57kg at $71. Minor claims only.

Was well in the market at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Muswellbrook Miss Finland on May 1 over 1000m, 3 len behind Hulaland carrying 58kg at $4.40. Has upside and can run a much better race.

First starter by Headwater out of Ursula. Finished third in a Muswellbrook trial May 6. Would prefer to see her perform on race day before recommending.
