Gunnedah Race 3 - Railway Hotel 1-2 Win
BELLA ZEST (1) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing second (23.05) at The Gardens over 400m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading chance again. HARA'S ROCKY (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at this track (25.96) when 6th and beaten 8 lengths. Form here at this distance is strong including zero wins. Has the ability to give this a shake. ASTON HURN (7) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (23.16) over 400m at Dubbo. Can feature with the right run. SWIFT HANK (3) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.05 over 400m at The Gardens. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 340m at this track. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (23.16) at Dubbo in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 7 this time. Looks a leading chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (25.96) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks a leading chance.
