1. Careering Away | Finished midfield last start at Gulgong on a soft track and placed in three of three at Dubbo before. Claim helps. Must respect. |
2. Corvo | Can't knock the form with two wins from 11 attempts this campaign and large claim helps. Place only. |
3. Souchong | Amongst the placegetters last start running second at Gulgong on a soft track and will appreciate the cut in the ground. Claim should help. A good chance. |
4. Overthink | Lame 1/5 5-1/4 len 6th of 8 (8) $6.50 55.5 Funambulist 2600m Gosford 3yo+ (Bm64) Soft(7) June 9. Lg nk 2nd of 6 (3) $3.70 59.0 Ausbred Bluebird 2340m Newcastle 3yo+ Plate (C1) Soft(7) June 25. |
5. Bring the Joy | Has two wins from 11 attempts this campaign but no wins in three past runs at Dubbo. Drawn out wide. Needs the breaks. |
6. Yak | Last start winner at long odds at Warren. Likely to race on the speed. A winning chance. |
7. Tan Line | Won once this prep at Nowra four runs back and ran fifth last start at Wagga on a heavy track. Concern is the wide barrier. Looking elsewhere. |
8. Dancin' Dude | Finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Warren and awkwardly drawn. Without a win in four runs at Dubbo. Hard to have. |
9. Eclair Rhythm | Unplaced in all six runs this prep and finished nine lengths off the winner last start at Coffs Harbour. Won't be far away in the run. Unlikely. |
10. Club Town | Finished in the middle of the pack last start at Dubbo on a heavy track. Not in this. |
11. Bemboka | Did nothing to threaten last start at Walgett but drawn ideally. Without a win in 10 runs at Dubbo. Cannot entertain. |
12. Dunlee | Still a maiden after 21 starts. Needs the breaks. |
13. Talkachino | Amongst the placegetters last start running third at Gulgong. Expected to settle off the speed. Looking to others. |
