Dubbo Race 9

Coolabah Goat Company

Prize Money: $2,655

ARMATREE VIOLET (5) hit the frame latest (22.87) when second at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has already won three times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form. SHORTY (1) was below latest but prior to that a Grade 4/5 winner in quick time (23.01) at this track in a Grade 4/5. With a good start should be able to take advantage of the rails draw. Expected to do much better this time. FANCY MAL (8) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 18.33 beating Valentino Beach. Outside box to overcome but goes well at this distance. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Can make it two on the bounce. TORVI TARO (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.53) in a NG, finishing a 8 length fourth. Has three wins and four placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Finished fourth last start at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently. Tends to go fairly well off the draw but will need everything to go her way.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3.5 lengths second (22.87) at this track and making it two placings on end. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by one length at this track (23.21) beating Candice Keeping in a Free For All on January 17. Risky starter, looking to others this time.

Strong performance to score by 4.5 lengths in a Mix 2/3 last start at this track, clocking a slick 18.33 over the 318m trip. Has the ability and can measure up again.
