Dubbo Race 2

Zoofm Pace

Stake: $7,491

SPRINGFIELD DESIRE (1) did a good job in recording a last-start win by 3.5 metres at Parkes. Led from a few spots wider there so should be able to take full advantage of the pegs draw. LETTUCE GO MIKI (9) is first up for new trainer Mat Rue. Should be forward enough to run a big race first-up following six trials, looking good in the last couple. FRONTIER (7) has not raced for nine months but looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line so respect. NIKALONG MINT (5) turned in a better run last time out when third over 1660m there, beaten 7 metres. Can feature.

Last start 5th (Sr4) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 11 m by Riverina Flash (2:03.40) in NR 39 to 41 on June 20 at $6. At his previous start 8th (Sr2) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 25 m by Potter (2:04.80) in NR up to 47 on June 11 at $71. Capable of a better showing.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1660m at Parkes beaten 24 m by Riverina Flash (2:03.40) in NR 39 to 41 on June 20 at $23. At the start before was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1660m at Parkes beaten 25 m by Lennox Bromac (2:04.10) in NR 40 to 42 on June 13 at $26. Closer draw this time so worth another chance.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Studleigh Starlite at Parkes over 1660m in a NR 38 to 39 on June 13 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Springfield Desire at Parkes over 1660m in a NR 36 to 38 on June 20 at $5. Contender.
