Dubbo Race 7

The Shire Bar & Grill 1-3 Win

Prize Money: $2,335

ALEX KEEPING (6) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from six starts. Hit the frame latest (18.53) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. ORANA JOEL (3) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten one length (18.56) behind Yana's Girl at this track. Expecting another good run. BANJO'S FERNANDO (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (19.65) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. Should be in this for a long way. BARRY BULLPIT (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (18.42) over 320m at Richmond. Draws an inside box and in the mix on his best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on August 27 over 318m at this track behind Real Chance beaten 6 lengths (18.53). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 318m at this track. Can't recommend in this field.
