Dubbo Race 8

Zipping Kyrgios At Stud

Stake: $2,840

BETTER LIGHT UP (1) has a strong record this trip with six wins and seven placings from 18 starts. Was out of placings last time (25.58) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. FANCY MAL (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Gunnedah over 527m behind Aussie Zac (31.00) in a NG. Was a winner prior to that. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Has ability and can measure up. ARMATREE VIOLET (3) could not have been more impressive last start in her quick 24.89 win at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 431m. Bold showing expected again. FROM THE DISCO (6) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Yet to be beaten when drawn the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Should be right in the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Gunnedah over 527m. Last start finished 7th over 527m at Gunnedah beaten 11 lengths (31.00) behind Aussie Zac in a NG on June 8. Has a superb 22.54 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
