Dubbo Race 9

Ladbrokes Country Classic Heat 3 H

Prize Money: $10,500

CANYA PONGA (3) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 0.8 lengths over 605m this track in 34.96. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can go on with it. MAGPIE HECTOR (4) has a strong record this journey with four wins and a minor from seven starts. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (42.67) in a S/E Group 1 last time at The Meadows. Looks one of the chances. TEMPTING DASH (7) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4.5 lengths (34.42) at Q Parklands. Expecting another bold showing. HURRICANE HALEY (2) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish at a big quote.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 600m at The Gardens in a handy (34.90), beating Sweet Bee. Must be a winning chance again.

Comments

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 605m at this track in a handy (34.90), beating Canya Ponga. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend against this lot.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
