Dubbo Race 9 - Palawa King @ Stud
DUST CARGO (2) had been super consistent recording two placings in a row before he was rewarded with a win last time, scoring at Gunnedah over 340m (19.87). Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from four starts. Looks the testing material. ARMATREE STRIPE (7) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length 4th at this track (23.31). Can measure up this time. VICTOR CARGO (8) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (20.38) in a Grade 5 at Gunnedah latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can improve sharply here. MERRY MERRIWA (1) will be hard to beat with a drop in distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Casino (28.22) in a NG, finishing a 10 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Among the chances on best.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Gunnedah over 340m in 19.87 last start, beating Swift Hank. Has won three races from this draw. Expected to feature.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (23.19) over 400m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (19.95) over 340m at Gunnedah. Has a wide draw to navigate but in the mix on his best form.
