Winner1. Grande DiabloSP $2.50
2nd pick4th
7Royal Princess
Royal Princess steps up from Maiden company but brings a strong Weir/Singleton combination (21% strike rate) and an ideal inside barrier for Gunnedah's forward-bias track. Consistent placings (3 from 8) show reliability, though the win is still missing. A slightly safer contender for place duties given the winning gap.
3rd pick5th
4Lady Lilibet
Lady Lilibet arrives fresh off a narrow Maiden win at Dubbo, showing improving fitness and tactical composure. The Nestor stable/jockey combination performs well at Gunnedah (21% strike rate), and barrier 6 allows a forward position under the track's bias.
Value pick6th
6Purple Prince
Purple Prince has been racing consistently and placed in two of its last three runs against similar Class 1 company, including a solid 3rd at Taree last start. A capable each-way value play in a moderately weak Class 1 field.

3Magic Merlin
Magic Merlin is the most consistent and progressive runner in this field, with three placings from four starts against similar maiden company, including a narrow defeat last start. Good barrier, proven jockey combination and suitable tactical profile for Gunnedah make this the most reliable form-based selection, even without a win yet.

1Zubba Storm
Zubba Storm arrives in career-best form, having just won at Dubbo over this exact trip carrying topweight.
2nd pick6th
5Brighella
Brighella is a genuine, honest 1000m performer who rarely runs a poor race, evidenced by a deep string of placings. The light weight and proven trip suitability offset the wide barrier concern. While it lacks a killer finishing turn of foot, its reliability and current fitness make it a solid each-way threat in this moderately-tempo race.
999th pickScratched
3Star Whisperer
Star Whisperer has shown genuine improvement this campaign, winning at Muswellbrook before a forgivable city foray at Rosehill in tough Heavy conditions. Quick back-up suggests trainer confidence, and the barrier draw plus proven 1000m form make this a strong threat to the top pick, though the jockey's poor track record here is a slight concern.

6Meddlesome
Meddlesome brings the strongest recent form profile in the race - consistently placing at this level with a recent win. Her tactical speed suits Gunnedah's forward-position bias despite the wide gate.
2nd pick2nd
5Vendor
Barrier 9 requires him to settle handy which suits the moderate tempo, and his home-track experience (placed at Gunnedah before) is a plus.
3rd pick6th
4Proclivity
Proclivity drops in class from BM66 company and has a strong record on good tracks historically. While his most recent run was underwhelming, the class relief and firm surface suit him well. He offers a credible each-way chance in a race lacking standout depth beyond the top two selections.
999th pickScratched
1Damascus Gate
Damascus Gate is a proven performer with two Bench 58 wins this campaign and solid overall record, drawing well from barrier 3. Include as an each-way play given his class and experience.
999th pickScratched
8Sanbina
Sanbina has been building nicely, winning a maiden last-but-one start and running narrowly second in a stronger Bench 66 grade at Tamworth. A consistent and progressive type who looks well placed against more exposed rivals in this field.
