Dubbo tips and results

Our price $14.00 · SP $17.00 · Heavelon Van Der Hoven

From an inside gate he can settle closer.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.40 · William A Stanley

Improving mare who ran a good third over 2000m at Wagga last start, beaten only a length and a half. She is racing into form and drops to a suitable trip. The query is her get-back style at a track and distance that strongly favours on-pace runners, and a slow tempo won't help her cause. Worth a place ticket.

Our price $6.00 · SP $13.00 · William A Stanley

Races on the speed and gets a perfect inside gate, which suits this track. He has been consistent at this level, including a close-up fifth at Mudgee in a BM82, and his trainer has a strong record at Dubbo. He is yet to win at 1400m from seven tries and has been beaten in easier races, so he shapes more a placing hope than a winner.

Our price $23.00 · SP $51.00 · Gabrielle Johnston

His jockey is riding in great form and goes well at the track.

Our price $10.00 · SP $13.00 · Izzy Neale

The emerging value.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.00 · Gabrielle Johnston

The clear form pick. He rolls forward and settles handy from a lovely inside draw, which is precisely the profile that dominates at Dubbo. Has been placed up to 1600m so the step to 1300m holds no stamina worries.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.00 · Mikayla Weir

The most reliable placegetter in the race. He has finished second or third in nine of eleven starts and rarely runs a bad one, with the Scone second two back a strong effort. He maps to settle just off the pace, which suits a track that favours handy runners, and his trainer is one of the best locally. The concern is his failure to win and a flat last-start effort.

Our price $13.00 · SP $15.00 · Izzy Neale

She sat second and boxed on well for a close third over this trip last start, and her on-pace running style from a good draw is exactly what the Dubbo track rewards. Her trainer and rider combine strongly here.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.30 · Heavelon Van Der Hoven

On his best recent form this gelding is the one to beat — he ran to a winning standard when third in a strong race at Gilgandra and was runner-up over this course and trip earlier. He can settle handy or come from off the pace, and the hot early tempo should suit his finishing burst. The long break and the awkward draw are the main worries.

Our price $7.50 · SP $7.50 · Shannen Llewellyn

A consistent type who races close to the speed, which suits Dubbo's on-pace pattern. He ran a bold second over this course and trip and has shown he can run time, and he maps to get the run of the race behind a fast tempo.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.00 · Jacob Stiff

A model of consistency who won at this track and trip earlier in the year and has since held her form in tougher Highway company. The stable and jockey combine at a healthy strike rate and she handles good ground. Resuming after a break and drawn midfield, she may need luck from off the pace, but she is a solid each-way proposition with a genuine winning chance.

Our price $6.50 · SP $8.50 · Shannen Llewellyn

The strongest finisher in the field, with a remarkable place strike rate and a win plus two placings from three starts at this track and trip. She gets back and charges late, which suits a hot tempo, but the wide draw means she will need luck navigating from the rear. A genuine each-way and place hope if the race is run to suit the closers.

Our price $13.00 · SP $21.00 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

The value angle. He owns the best win strike rate in the race and is clearly on the improve this preparation, exactly the sort of handy on-pace runner that Dubbo favours. He carries a light weight and his jockey rides this track well.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.00 · Adam Farragher

A four-year-old mare trending in the right direction. She was beaten narrowly in a stronger BM58 at Bathurst last start after being badly checked in the closing stages, and she sits handy in the run, which is the right profile for Dubbo. She is a winner over the trip and her stable is going well here.

Our price $15.00 · SP $19.00 · Gabrielle Johnston

From barrier one he should be able to hold a handy position, and on a track that strongly favours forward runners that is worth plenty. His last start is a write-off after he blew the start, and he was a good winner two runs back.
