Dubbo Race 5 - Bunnings - Dubbo Pace
STAY STRONG (9) was out of the money two runs back at Penrith then displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 8 metres over 1660m at Parkes. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. CHASIN YOU (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 12 metres at Parkes over 1660m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. THE HEATS ON LEXY (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Temora over 1635m. Genuine threat. MARABELLE (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1660m at Parkes.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Memphis Fury at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR 46 to 48 on March 27 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Soho Betty Dee at Parkes over 1660m in a 0-1 WIN on April 4 at $6.50. Should be there at the business end.

Resuming after a layoff of 20 months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when tenth at very long odds behind Madeablue. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.
