Dubbo Race 8 - The Shire Bar & Grill
NANGAR MCGRAW (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and four minors from eight tries. Comes off a (22.52) win last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 over 400m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. FIRST TRAIN OUT (2) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 5.5 lengths (20.18) at Goulburn. Should be about the money. LONG DARK ROAD (7) flew around 431m at Gunnedah in 24.96 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. HYBRID EVE (1) is another with top-three prospects.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a NG on March 13 over 350m at Goulburn behind Fancy Lena beaten 5.5 lengths (20.18). Placed two back at Nowra. More than capable and has to be included.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 4.5 lengths over 400m at this track (22.52). Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.

Was among the placegetters latest at Temora when a 6 length second but did clock a hot 25.69 for the 457m trip. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.
