Gunnedah Race 5 - Red Chief Motel
JAKEY BLUE (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Laurie's Ferrari (19.60) in a Grade 3/4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Top chance in this line up. PANDA UNLEASHED (1) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by half a length (30.61) at this track. Looks a primary danger. SWIFT BONNIE (2) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at this track over 431m behind My Irish (25.60) in a Grade 5. Cannot be underestimated. WALTER WANTED (6) is worth a look despite no experience at this trip.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a half a length win at this track over 527m in 30.61. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Has three wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when second (29.95) over 515m at The Gardens. Awkward draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Steps up to 527m for the first time. Last appeared when eighth over 340m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Draw will be an advantage forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
