Dubbo Race 3

The Shire Bar & Grill 0-2 Win

Prize Money: $3,110

TANK KEEPING (2) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from six starts. Below best last time at Q Lakeside (25.72) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Expected to be in the finish. LILY BLOOM (1) can keep on winning after strong last start success, claiming a Maiden at Gunnedah over 431m in 24.93. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. LITTLE KING (8) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 516m behind Heidi Keeping (30.47) in a Mix. Was in the money the start prior. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Worth following up. STIFF LUCK (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing from this draw.

Good effort to score just three days ago over 431m at Gunnedah by 7 lengths in a Maiden. Form reads well for this.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 516m at this track. That followed a win two back in 23.33 beating Madam Zelda over 400m at this track. Fair run last start but needs to improve further.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 8 length fourth over 516m at this track. Prepared to overlook.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Mix on July 12 over 516m at this track behind Heidi Keeping beaten 10 lengths (30.47). Placed two back at Temora. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
