Dubbo Race 5

Ladbrokes Blackbook

Stake: $2,689

HOPE'S TREASURE (6) was strongly fancied last time but finished sixth (19.45) at this track, bringing a three-run winning streak to an end. The form out of last race has been strong. Looks the one to beat on her best form. LUCY VALENTINE (7) is a progressive type who recorded her 8th career win last time out (18.38) at this track. Has a strong winning record here. Solid beginner and with a good start should have clear running out wide. Leading player again. ARMATREE ACE (2) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (18.50) at this track in a NG. Has good speed and aided by a low draw. Can find the frame this time. BOMB NOAH (4) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Was out of placings last time (20.21) at Gunnedah in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from 10 starts. Leading chance.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on May 31 over 318m at this track behind Nangar Archie beaten 10 lengths (18.83). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 23.06. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 400m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Hard to envisage a win.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
