Gunnedah Race 7 - Mornington Butchery 1-3 Win
BOY NAMED BLUE (3) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 8 lengths (19.58) over 340m at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Expected to be right there at the finish again. TRALEE WILLY (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 8 length 6th at this track (20.27). Goes very well at course and distance boasting one wins. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ASAHI BEACH (1) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing eighth at Q Straight, but was among the placings at Grafton three back. Can find the frame this time. SKETCHY STORIES (2) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last over 350m at Q Straight beaten 11 lengths (19.90) behind Hooked On Kisses in a Grade 5 on April 1. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 340m in 20.08. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 340m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 340m at this track by 8 lengths in a Maiden. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (25.46) at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 350m at Goulburn. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.19) over 401m at Richmond. Has a wide draw to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.
