Dubbo Race 12

Dubbo Rsl 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,495

RED ROCK ROSE (4) hit the frame two back then broke through last time by a nose (18.33) at this track over 318m. The one to beat again. KATIE KEEPING (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (25.49) in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah. In the mix. SPRING GRIM (6) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 6 lengths back in third (20.06) at Goulburn in a Grade 5 over 350m. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Hard to beat again. EXPLODE OPAL (5) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th over 431m at Gunnedah beaten 4.5 lengths (25.49) behind Stilton Evie in a Grade 5 on May 7. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (19.48) over 336m at Muswellbrook. Has a low draw. Top-three aspirations.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by a nose in a Maiden last start at this track, recording a speedy 18.33 over the 318m journey. Hard to top on that run.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a nose at this track (18.58) beating Lidcombe Babe in a Grade 5 on April 28. Has ability and worth including.
