Gunnedah Race 5 - Mornington Butchery

SUDDEN SURPRISE (8) missed the frame last time when fourth (22.96) at The Gardens but prior to that had two placings in a row. Form here sound including two wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Ready to return to form. AVA'S MILO (4) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (25.24) at this track over 431m. Can feature again. MUGGLE (2) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 4/5 win two back (19.76) at this track. Expected to do much better this time. ROY THE BOY (1) warrants respect although new to this track.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 19.76, beating Ava's Milo. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 4/5 on February 4 over 340m at this track behind Flying Tango beaten 9 lengths (20.21). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (25.24) at this track over 431m. Has a blistering 19.51 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Good effort to win last start by 2.75 lengths over 318m at Dubbo in a handy (18.74), beating Elusive Tom. Will find this a bit tougher, better off looking to others.

Missed the frame latest (22.96) when fourth over 400m at The Gardens in a NG. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Expected to go close.
