Dubbo Race 5

The Shire Bar & Grill 1-2 Win

Stake: $2,872

SWIFT HANK (8) had the drop on the pace early but forged to the lead on the bend and drew clear to score (25.16) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 431m. Can make it back-to-back wins. SWIFT ARIEL (7) is a talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has quickly put herself into the picture to win the last couple of runs. Latest win recorded a handy 25.00 at Gunnedah. One of the prime contenders. HEY LACEY (2) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 400m behind Armatree Stripe (23.56) in a Grade 5. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Worth following up. LUMEAH ROCKET (1) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last four starts, the latest when second (23.38) at this track. Has a low draw. Has to do a bit more.
