Gunnedah Race 5 - Red Chief Motel
SHORTY BOY (1) missed the frame latest (25.34) when eighth over 450m at Maitland in a NG. Has already won two times from this draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. CASH RUN (7) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 19.49. Draws out wide but goes well at this distance. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Hard to fault the current string of winning form and can continue his winning ways. PESSIMISM (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with 28 wins and 26 minors from 64 tries. Below best last time at this track (19.91) in a NG, finishing a 6 length fifth. Can hit the frame with the right run. ROYMAN (2) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 450m at Ballarat. Looks a winning chance fresh.

Good effort last time when second (19.78) over 340m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Will need plenty of luck.

Finished second at big odds last time (19.79) over 340m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Others preferred.

Good performance to win by a nose at this track over 340m (19.94) beating Cowboy Carter in Grade 5 on February 4. This will test.

Missed the frame latest (19.91) when fifth over 340m at this track in a NG. Has two successes and three minors from seven starts from box 8. Has ability and should be around the money.
