Gunnedah Race 3 - Mark Hughes Foundation
NOAH BONKERS (7) continues to race in super honest form hitting the frame at 18 of 28 career runs, winning two back before finishing third last time (19.90) over 340m at this track. Drawn out but with clear running expected to go close. MY WEE LASS (1) placed last time (22.69) at The Gardens in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to taste defeat in two runs from this draw. Can feature in the finish. PRIVATE JAKE (8) drawn the outside box and could get a clear run. Was below best last time when 8th and beaten 9 lengths at this track (25.37). Goes very well at course and distance boasting four wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Must be included in calculations. IMPERIAL CHOP (3) is chasing another win after a sharp 19.61 win latest. Don't underestimate.

Scored by half a length last time (19.61) in a Free For All over 340m at this track. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Went down narrowly in a Free For All at this track latest when a half a length second but did record a solid 19.64 over the 340m trip. Harder here and one for the multiples.
