Dubbo Race 2 Tip #1 Agent Moon $2.40
This four-year-old gelding put in a huge run on debut and looks ready to breakthrough at his second career start.
Jumping from barrier 1 on that day, he was half a length slow out of the gates which meant he had to be used early to hold a spot behind the leaders.
On turning for home, jockey Asley Morgan had plenty of horse under him. However, he had to wait for the leader to roll off the rails, while the eventual winner had already started her run.
He was very strong late, going down by the narrowest of margins in a run which indicated that the rise from 800m to 1000m today will be ideal.
He'll take a stack of natural improvement from that debut effort, while he'll be much more suited jumping from barrier 6.
Ashley Morgan retains the ride and you can expect him to be positive from the gates, sitting on speed before producing this galloper for a big sprint home.
He looks to have some ability and should be too strong for this field!
Dubbo Race 5 Tip #7 Birdonawinningpost $2.50
This mare by Shooting To Win found the Gosford 1100m too much on debut.
After being slowly away, she ran through the line well enough to suggest she'd be better suited out to a longer trip.
At her second career start, she landed at the more spacious Newcastle track and produced a strong effort over 1350m. She was asked to burn the candle at both ends on that occasion and managed to run an admirable second place.
She retains the services of Rachel Murray for this assignment and finds a very winnable race.
The drop back in distance to 1300m poses no concern, especially given she's shown the ability to hold a forward position in the run.
From barrier 7, look for Murray to be positive. If she maintains or improves her last start rating, she should prove too good for her rivals today!
