Dubbo Race 9

Wayne Mallison Painting & Decorating

Stake: $2,872

ARMATREE PESTO (8) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (25.23) at Gunnedah over 431m. Can go on with it. ARMATREE JUDO (2) finished in the money three on end before breaking through for an overdue win last start (24.89) at Gunnedah. Has a good record at this journey. Looks suited and expected to run well. NO SECOND CHANCE (4) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Recorded a 2.25 lengths win (23.22) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Can feature in the finish. HOT TO TEST (7) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Scored by 2 lengths last time (24.89) in a Grade 4/5 over 431m at Gunnedah. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including two wins. Makes strong appeal.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 2.25 lengths win at this track over 400m in 23.22. In top form and can make it three straight.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a neck at this track (18.71) beating Maltese Belle in a Grade 5 on August 31. Can't recommend her in this.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Ran a better race when third behind Armatree Judo at Gunnedah last start over 431m (25.23). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.
