Dubbo Race 8

Ladbrokes Mates Mode Pots Masters

Stake: $2,541

GEORGE TARO (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Talakai (18.42) in a Mix 1/2/3. Has the pace to be prominent. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Capable of going well again. BOY GEORGE CARGO (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (18.61) last time in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Likely to be about the money. SOLICITOR (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (25.68) last time in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah. Has a good record at this journey. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. YORI BALE (3) is right in the mix.

Was out of placings last time (18.61) at this track in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 12 starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
