Lithgow Race 9

Mark Hughes Foundation

Prize Money: $1,575

ARMATREE STRIPE (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Dubbo in a handy 23.20 beating Jacobite Battle. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Great chance to get the job done again. GO FORWARD BLAZE (6) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by a neck (18.65) at Dubbo. Solid beginner and with a good start can clear the tricky draw. Expected to feature again. MODEL FERNANDA (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (23.33) last time in a Grade 4/5 at Dubbo. Must be included in calculations. PAW ALLEY (8) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.5 lengths at Dubbo (23.20) beating Jacobite Battle in a Grade 4/5 on October 24. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with her.
