Tumut Race 4 - Garry Gillespie Constructions Tumut Cup (Bm74)
KAHAWATY (6) hit the line with GUNDY GUY at Parks and now meets him 3.5kgs better. Can settle close again from the draw and rates a leading player. GUNDY GUY (3) is building nicely, making late ground to finish fourth over this trip last time. Strip fitters but does go up in weights. GUSTAV (8) followed up his brave win here two back with a strong chasing effort at Wagga. Ticking along nicely and doesn't have to improve much to return to the winner's circle. ASTUNNER (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner at Tumbarumba. Backs up quickly and can go one better. COPPERFIELD (1) held off ASTUNNER last time and boasts a strong record over this trip. Lugs the big weight but is aided by the 3kg claimer going on. Have to respect.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Tumbarumba Cup-Bm66 on January 31 over 1400m, head behind Copperfield carrying 60.5kg at $4. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading of 12 at Cowra Cowra Cup Bm83 on January 18 over 1700m, 5.5 len behind Shadow Dane carrying 52kg at $5. Right in the mix again.
