Gunnedah Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation
IMPERIAL CHOP (2) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 4/5 win two back (25.08) at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. GO FORWARD BLOCK (7) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (24.58) at this track. Has definite claims again. SHORTY BOY (5) has a strong record this trip with five wins and three placings from 12 starts. In the money last time at this track (24.84) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length second. Can feature with the right run. HYBRID EVE (1) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when second (18.75) in a Grade 5 over 318m at Dubbo.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at this track and recording a speedy 19.68 over the 340m journey. Should be in this for a long way.
