Dubbo Race 7

Hungry Mate Raw Pet Food

Prize Money: $1,575

SOUTHBROOK MERV (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage sixth (19.10) at this track. Looks the one to beat on his best form. KARINYA TOM TOM (7) boasts a strong record this journey with six wins and three minors from 16 tries. Was out of placings last time (19.93) at Gunnedah in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. RED ROCK RATTLER (4) is better than last start when sixth (20.28) from Box 5 at Gunnedah over 340m. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from four starts. Has ability and can measure up. LITTLE ESMERALDA (3) placed in a close finish last start - worth some thought.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 4 on July 6 over 318m at this track behind Armoured Glass beaten 10 lengths (19.10). Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at Gunnedah over 340m. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
