Goulburn Race 2

Ladbrokes Popular Srm

Prize Money: $2,335

BANDIT BARB (1) recorded a win over 350m at this track in a dynamic 19.58 last start. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. GUS AND DODO (6) is a consistent runner who is new here. Had the inside and was too good last time scoring by 4 lengths at Gunnedah over 340m (19.84). Comes through a solid form race last start. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. SHE'S A DARLING (7) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 350m behind Natural Essence (20.60) in a Grade 5. Has a win and two minor placings from three starts from this draw. Expected to run well. DIG DEEP RUPEE (2) has hardly put a foot wrong of late and will be competitive again.

Comments

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 19.58 as a strongly fancied winner over 350m at this track. Looks to be back in fine fettle. Makes plenty of appeal.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on February 6 over 350m at this track behind Spencer Fury beaten 0.8 lengths (20.12). Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.

Good performance to win by 4 lengths at Gunnedah over 340m (19.84) beating Mythic in Grade 5 on January 21. Back in great order and makes plenty of appeal again.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (20.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Has ability and should be around the money.
