Dubbo Picks

Hard to see anything upsetting the top two choices. TRUST A KITTY has five placings from five runs this prep and gets the blinkers back on, among the main chances. BONNIE AND BRUCE on a six day back-up and amongst the placegetters last start running second at Dubbo on a soft track, hard to hold out. CASDAEMON has three placings from seven runs this prep and gets the blinkers back on, could upset. GOODBYE STRANGER amongst the placegetters last start running third at Wellington and goes up in trip, could threaten.

GRANDINI has placed in two attempts this campaign and narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Narromine, well placed. CASINO DIVA came on to finish midfield at only start at Narromine, cannot be ruled out. BEAUTY EDGE placed at Newcastle in only second-up attempt and finished sixth last start at Narromine when fresh, in with a chance. DENISON BELL on debut and fitter for multiple trial runs, still in this.

STAR OF SALISBURY resumes from a long 67 week spell and placed at long odds at only start at Bathurst, leading hope. KILTIKI back after 21 week break and gets the blinkers back on, each-way claims. SPEEDY HENRY first starter and has trialled at Tamworth, chance to place. HUTT STREET placed once this prep at Coonabarabran and gets the blinkers back on, place claims.

CHARLIE MAGIC last start winner to break maiden at Narromine, hard to go past. DESIROUS short back-up of six days and faded to finish fifth last start at Dubbo on a soft track when fresh, could threaten. MIDNIGHT DREAM finished midfield last start at Narromine and rates highly with Clayton Gallagher aboard, sneaky chance. STARANE has two placings from three runs this prep but ran one and a half lengths back from the winner last start at Orange, in with a chance.

MAGIC PHAROAH only just missed last start, finishing a length back from the winner at Newcastle on a soft track and down in distance, hard to go past. BLUE GUITAR comes back to race at a country level and won once this prep at Newcastle two runs back, sneaky chance. AIN'T SHE SWELL came on strong when just beaten last start at Narromine and won once this prep at Dubbo two runs back, in with a chance. TITLED TYCOON has won at Harden and placed in all other attempts this campaign, still in this.

Only one real pick to be made. ROMANTIC LOVE won or placed in two races to start career and rates highly with Clayton Gallagher aboard, major contender. BRUTAL LOVE coming off a win to break maiden at Gundagai when first up and rates highly with Kody Nestor aboard, strong place chance. BAMBOULA resumes after an 18 week spell and coming off a win to break maiden at Forbes on a soft track, not the worst. QUICK ONYX has four placings from eight runs this prep and ran fourth last start at Wellington, quinella.

CLIMATE CONTROL racing back from the city and has two placings from four runs this prep, well placed. MS REEVES coming off a win at Dubbo on a soft track and Zoe Hunt has had success aboard previously, cannot be ruled out. HIT THE RIM short back-up of six days and in the money last start running third at Dubbo, could upset. SHAQUILA rates highly with Nick Heywood back on board and won't be far away in the run, place best.
