Dubbo Race 5 - The Shire Bar & Grill Pace
XCITE ME (1) finished in the money at Young two starts back then did a good job again at her latest appearance over 1640m at Blayney, beaten 13 metres into third after being handy all the way. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the talent to take care of this field. DARK LUSTRE (5) again drew a wide gate last start but did a great job, scoring by 1.5 metres at Blayney over 2000m. Finds a nice race and can get the job done again. CAMSTAR ROAD (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2000m at Blayney last time out. ROMERO (6) cops a tough draw but is next best following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at Blayney five days ago. Something for the Multiples: XCITE ME NZ (1)

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Alabama Lioness at Young over 1720m in a NR up to 53 on February 11 at $2.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Keilor Baby Shark at Blayney over 1640m in a NR up to 52 on February 16 at $5. Draws the pegs and is a top chance for an overdue win.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Blayney both over 2000m. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 m (Sr3) at Blayney (2:31.60) beating Reason To Party in NR up to 50 on February 16 at $18 at the bell was 2nd-3.2. Big chance again.
