Dubbo Race 5 - XXXX Gold Dubbo Cup Sprint Prelude
CROOK (8) opened this campaign with three minor placings then wasn't all that far away at Canterbury last start over 1200m. Has two wins and a placing from three tries at this distance. Ready to win at this stage of the campaign. CASTLEBAR ROAD (2) scored a tough win over 1280m at Gilgandra nine days ago. Races well here and looks favourably treated after the 2kg claim. Likely to control the tempo and should prove tough to catch. WAVE BREAKER (4) is a classy mare in the mix off a 45-day freshen up. Scored an impressive win here at this trip in a BM82 three starts ago. One of the better chances on that form. FETES DES MERES (7) resumes. Trialled in good style recently and looks ready for a positive return to racing. ENNIROC (13) didn't finish far away at Quirindi last time. Needed that run and is a chance on a six-day back-up.
