Dubbo Race 6

Palawa King @ Stud

Prize Money: $2,515

TRACEY TARO (1) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (29.80) at this track in a Grade 5 over 516m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Looks the testing material. IRINKA BRETT (7) is generally an honest type in the frame at six of 20 starts but missed the placings last time when fifth (30.15) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Performs well off this draw. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. SKY KEEPING (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from seven tries. Recorded a nose win (23.15) in a NG last time at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. LITTLE ESMERALDA (2) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (22.99) over 400m at this track. Boxed out wide and looks safely held.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 23.15 when a nose winner over 400m at this track. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.
