Gundagai Best Bet - Race 6 No. 2 Harry The Thief

Three victories from just six career starts underline the ability of Harry The Thief, who looks well placed dropping back in grade for Friday's Gundagai assignment after competing in stronger provincial company.

The Mitchell Beer and George Carpenter-trained gelding resumed with a narrow victory over 1100m at Goulburn on September 24, getting the better of Chemtrail in a BM66 despite having to fight hard over the concluding stages.

There were excuses for his sixth-of-ten effort behind He's Cool at Wyong on October 29, where he was hampered at the start before settling back and making late ground to finish only two-and-a-half lengths from the winner in a provincial BM68.

A return to country company should prove favourable, while the rise to 1180m looks suitable given his latest performance and he brings a strong overall record into this contest, with three wins and another placing from his six appearances.

Jean Van Overmeire takes the ride from barrier five, and although Harry The Thief has 61.5kg to carry, his class edge and potential for further improvement third-up make him the runner to beat.

Gundagai Feature Bet - Race 8 No. 1 Ticklebelly

A proven performer at Gundagai, Ticklebelly returns to a circuit where she has recorded two victories and a placing from three appearances, including a win in the 2025 Snake Gully Cup.

The Scott Collings-trained mare arrives off an excellent runner-up performance in the Barn Dance at Randwick on Melbourne Cup Day, where she was narrowly denied by Boom Torque over 1300m after working on the speed in a competitive metropolitan handicap.

That effort followed a seventh in The Kosciuszko over 1200m at Randwick on October 17, where she was beaten three-and-a-half lengths in significantly stronger company despite experiencing interference at the start.

Her record over 1400m is another positive, having won twice from seven appearances at the distance, while the return to country opposition should give her an opportunity to capitalise on the strong form she has been building in Sydney.

Pierre Boudvillain takes the reins from barrier nine, and although 60kg is a substantial impost, Ticklebelly has the tactical speed to establish a prominent position and the proven class to make a serious challenge for the feature.

Gundagai Value Bet - Race 9 No. 10 Divine Spark

A breakthrough victory at Wagga on October 30 could be the catalyst for Divine Spark to put together a productive preparation, with the Maddison Collins-trained mare returning from a spell to score over 1400m and now stepping into benchmark company.

The daughter of Divine Prophet had been a consistent maiden performer without quite breaking through, recording four runner-up finishes and another placing during her first nine starts before making a winning return to racing.

Her latest success came in a Country Boosted Maiden Plate, where she justified market support to defeat On The Fly by a length, suggesting the break had done her good after several competitive performances throughout her previous campaign.

The 1400m journey is clearly suitable, with Divine Spark having registered a win and three seconds from five attempts at the distance, and she should strip fitter following that first-up success with further improvement possible.

Barrier 15 presents an obvious obstacle and Josh Richards will need to find the right position, but the mare has shown enough consistency and ability to suggest she can measure up in this BM58, making her an each-way consideration at around $8 in early markets.
