Gosford Race 7 - Vale John Woods Senior
MY MACHINE (1) ran below his best last time finishing fifth (23.26) over 400m at The Gardens in a NG. Has a good record here at this journey. Looks the one to beat on his best form. TRUNKEY CHIEF (3) has a superb record at this track and trip, unbeaten so far from three starts. Scored by 5.5 lengths last time (21.94) in a NG over 388m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. MATT JET POWER (2) has been out of the placings at his last couple of runs but caught the eye when posting a blistering 22.12 over 388m at this track three starts back. Top win three back and can measure up again. IMPATIENT ROSE (8) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Didn't make the placings last time at Richmond (18.78) in a Free For All, finishing a 9 length sixth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from seven starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd on March 13 over 400m at The Gardens behind Federal Player beaten 9 lengths (22.94) in a Free For All. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
