Gunnedah Race 9 - Hopes Fuel
SNOOPING (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.56) at this track behind Tenacious Talker in a NG. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Makes plenty of appeal. SAMSON'S RIOT (6) hit the ground running to win over the 525m at Taree Super Track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at this track last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. STRUT (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track (31.08) but scored four back at Rockhampton (29.73). Won at his only start from this box. Can figure in the finish. SWIFT BONNIE (5) must be included on latest effort.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4 length second (30.62) over 527m at this track. Has a fast 30.44 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 527m. Last start finished 4th over 527m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (30.61) behind My Monroe in a NG on May 31. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
