Gunnedah Race 3 - Gunnedah Hotel
NORMA SAID (8) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (30.39) in a Grade 5 at Wentworth Park latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. NOAH BONKERS (3) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last four starts, the latest jumping from this same box when second in a Grade 5 at this track (19.90). Worth following up. SUBTLE KNOCK (1) was in the minors two back (17.75) at Taree Super Track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. The form out of her last race has been franked. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SHE'S A TANGO (2) generally performs well over this distance.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 5 on January 28 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind What A Secret beaten 6 lengths (17.95). Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a nose at this track (19.92) beating Flat Chat Jack in a Grade 5 on January 12. Others read better.

Returns from a 13 months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 305m at Coonamble. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.99) in a Grade 5, finishing a 15 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from three starts. Looks one of the chances.
