AU - Gunnedah - Race 6

HAIKU STAR (1) was beaten a whisker carrying 61kgs in a similar race to this over today's course and distance two back. Outclassed subsequently in open company at Inverell. Back in his right race today and looks very hard to stop. SNATCHREILLY (2) led all the way to win gamely over today's distance at Tamworth two back then failed narrowly last time when attempting a repeat performance over 5 ½f at Armidale. Will prove tough to reel in coming back to five furlongs. CORVETTE PRIDE (9) took 12 runs but finally cracked the maiden recently at Armidale. This might be a touch short for her but with the confidence high she should run well again. NEVERMISTA (4) made it an incredible seven minor placings from as many runs this prep when runner-up over 5 ½f at Gilgandra last start. Placed six from eight at today's journey so he is a must for trifecta and first four punters. POWERSTONE (8) has two wins and four placings from eight runs at Gunnedah. Must be considered.
