1. Bondadosa | Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Dubbo and Hawkesbury. Won two of four with the sting out of the ground. Major contender. |
2. Rebecca's Quest | Won once this prep at Gilgandra four runs back and has not won at Dubbo previously. Large claim helps but still not keen. |
3. No Debt | Has two wins from six attempts this campaign and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw. Clayton Gallagher has a strike rate of 28% for this trainer. Not out of it. |
4. Niccourette | Can't knock the form with two wins from five attempts this campaign and ran eighth last start at Dubbo. Cannot entertain. |
5. Foreign Brother | Surprised punters to win at long odds last start at Dubbo on a soft track and in strong form with three wins from 10 attempts this campaign. Should race on the speed. Among the main chances. |
6. Dubai Centre | Narrowly beaten at long odds last start at Dubbo and has two placings from three runs this prep. Won't be far away in the run. Must respect. |
7. Justfour | Only able to place as favourite last start at Dubbo but has four placings from four runs this prep. Likely to race on the speed. Among the main chances. |
8. Deshawn | Finished six lengths off the winner last start at Dubbo when fresh and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Likes the cut in the ground. Rough claims. |
9. Petain | In the money last start running third at Warren. Won't be far away in the run. Place hope. |
10. Saw That Coming | Finished midfield last start at Dubbo on a soft track. This looks too strong. |
11. Fox Spirit | Ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Warren on a soft track and has not won at Dubbo previously. Claim should help but this looks too strong. |
12. Serene Shadow | Ran fifth last start at Dubbo and won once this prep at Wellington four runs back. Not keen. |
