Dubbo Race 5

Ladbrokes Blackbook Masters

Stake: $2,495

GEORGE TARO (6) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Maitland over 400m behind Badger's Beast (22.60) in a NG. Scored at his previous run. Key runner on his best form. SCORCHING BOY (3) can keep on winning after quick last start success, claiming a Grade 4/5 at Shepparton over 390m in 22.19. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. DAKSHA BALE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Goulburn over 350m behind Orson Jimmy (20.61) in a Mix 2/3. Leading chance.

Missed the frame latest (20.61) when seventh over 350m at Goulburn in a Mix 2/3. Has performed well off the draw with a win and five places from nine starts. Makes strong appeal.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (23.05) over 400m at Maitland. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and capable of a better result.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a half a length win at Shepparton over 390m in 22.19. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished 5th in a NG on April 28 over 400m at Maitland behind Badger's Beast beaten 9 lengths (22.60). Should be right in the finish.
