DUBBO (NSW) – Good 4

R1 – Benchmark 58 Handicap (2200m)

Analysis

With a small field, positioning will be crucial. WILL TO EXCEL has been racing consistently and wasn’t far away here last start, keeping him right in contention. TAVIJEWEL draws favourably and has already tasted success this prep, making her a serious threat. JOSHUA ran well in defeat last outing and remains competitive in this grade.

Selections

  • 1. Will To Excel (2) — $7.00
  • 9. Tavijewel (1) — $4.60
  • 10. Joshua (5) — $5.00

R2 – Country Boosted BM58 Handicap (1200m)

Analysis

A tight race where value may be limited. CHICO CASINO should land in a prime on-speed spot and boasts solid local form. I’M KENOUGH gets every chance from the draw and could spring a surprise. A BOY NAMED SOO resumes and may sneak into the placings.

Selections

  • 3. Chico Casino (2) — $1.90

Plenty of lightly raced runners engaged. BARON OF BUTTER showed promise on debut here and looks well suited. BUSTED BUTTONS makes his first appearance and is worth keeping safe.
