Dubbo Race 8

Ladbrokes Country Classic Heat 2 H

Prize Money: $10,500

VODKA AND ICE (1) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his flying win the start prior, getting around The Meadows over 730m in 42.48. Has the ability and looks hard to top. TANK KEEPING (8) is a strong stayer who excels over the longer races. Finished third latest over 605m at this track (34.98) in a NG. Has a strong winning record at this journey including one wins. Expected to feature. ZIG ZAG MAN (7) hit the ground running and was prominent to the turn but faded out of it when 5th at this track in NG company. Can do much better this time. WITHOUT A TRACE (3) is one of the chances after a minor prize in quick time last start.

Won two starts back over 730m at The Meadows. Last start he finished 3rd on February 28 over 730m at The Meadows behind Magpie Hector beaten 1.75 lengths (42.77) in a S/E Group 1. Draw likely to suit. Excellent record from this box, including two wins. Go well.

Missed the frame latest (30.90) when fifth over 550m at Q Lakeside in a Grade 5. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Others rate better this time.

Impressive performance to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at Q Lakeside, clocking a hot 30.26 for the 550m trip. In form and worth thought again.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (35.43) over 622m at Richmond. Has a decent strike-rate from the draw and capable of a better result.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Richmond over 622m. Last start finished 3rd in a NG on March 7 over 605m at this track behind Zipping Mooney beaten one length (34.98). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.
