Dubbo tips and results

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Glenn Cahill

Looks overpriced. She will be handy in a slow tempo, goes well on Good ground and has won over this trip. Her Dubbo third two starts ago, finishing from last, was a solid effort at a lower class. A genuine each-way value play.

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.40 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Resumes from a break with a narrow trial second and lands in a race with no confirmed leader, so his natural speed should put him in the first two. His local stable wins regularly here and his jockey has a good record for them. Last prep he was honest without threatening, but he is lightly raced, gets in with little weight and could easily improve sharply.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.80 · Gabrielle Johnston

He maps to sit handy from barrier two and the stable/jockey combination has a good strike rate here.

Our price $8.00 · SP $20.00 · Jacob Stiff

Mega Missile produced the strongest last-start run in this field when second over 1300m at Narromine, and the step to 1400m looks suitable. Jacob Stiff is riding well at Dubbo and the horse has upside after just one start.

Our price $9.00 · SP $15.00 · Sairyn Fawke

Aphelion is a consistent maiden who has been around the mark in Class 1 races at this distance, including a close third at Narromine. He lacks a winning edge but is a solid each-way prospect.

Our price $4.20 · SP $4.20 · Kody Nestor

He brings the best recent form into this. Two starts back here he was posted wide throughout and still beaten only three lengths; last time at Bathurst he chased a wide path and stuck on for third in a race with more depth. He maps to settle handy, is drawn in the band that does best over this trip here, and his jockey is riding in great form. Four tries at Dubbo without a win is the query.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Glenn Cahill

Honest mare who has finished second at her last two, including a half-length defeat here over 1000m when she led and was run down late. She is the one runner with genuine early speed in a race without much pressure, so she could dictate, and she carries a light weight from a good gate. The query is the extra 200m — she has never raced beyond 1100m — and she has won only once in 14.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.40 · Liberty Smyth

Ticking over nicely and her last-start second at this track was full of merit, running through the line better than anything else here. She gets in light after the claim and a hot speed battle up front should let her settle back and swoop. The query is the rider, who has not had a winner recently, and her record over the short trip at Dubbo is thin. Include on an each-way basis.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.50 · Jake Pracey-Holmes

Rounding into form at the right time and his last-start second at this grade reads well. He can sit handier than most of the closers and avoid the worst of the speed battle, which is a genuine plus if the leaders overdo it. The knock is his poor record here and a flat run two starts ago.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.00 · Kody Nestor

He produced the strongest last-start performance in the field when charging home for second at Coonamble. The wide draw is an advantage at Dubbo over 1000m, and his rider knows him well. If he settles just off the speed instead of leading, he can be the one finishing strongest. The main risk is his tendency to overrace.

Our price $6.50 · SP $5.00 · Jasmine Urquhart-Warren

He is racing in great heart, winning at Narromine last start and dropping to a featherweight here. From barrier one he should hold a handy position without doing too much work. The concern is that he has not won at Dubbo in five attempts and is rising in class, but his recent form and weight make him a serious contender.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Nick Palmer

She is a Dubbo 1000m specialist with two wins and a placing from three tries at the track and trip. Last start she lost ground at the start at Bathurst and still finished close enough.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.20 · Clayton Gallagher

He charged home from midfield to be beaten less than a length over this trip at Coonamble last start, covering ground and still running through the line. He is rarely far away, with four wins and eight placings from 19 starts and placings at both Dubbo runs, and he drops slightly in grade. The obvious knock is the top weight of 60.5kg, a big jump on what he carried last time, but he maps for a nice trail behind the pace and the rider knows him well.

Our price $8.50 · SP $9.50 · Kody Nestor

His last start at Bathurst was a very good run in the same grade over the same trip, finishing fast after being checked. A genuine pace should set the race up for a runner coming from behind.

Our price $6.80 · SP $8.00 · Gabrielle Johnston

A consistent young gelding who has won and placed regularly, with a class drop and an easy draw. A reasonable place option.
