Dubbo Race 8 - Western Plains Granite Pace
PYEKAKARIKI (1) missed the placings two runs back then did a great job to finish 5.5 metres back in third despite breaking in the run over 2260m at Bathurst nine days ago. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he take this out. KARINYA HAZ (10) is a four-year-old gelding by American Ideal from Kyalla Tee Jay on debut. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Has the right credentials to play a major role. TERRAGONG SWINGER (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1760m at Junee last time out. WARRAWEE JACK (8) will secure a cosy run through early on and is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2260m at Bathurst.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Live Vance at Bathurst over 1730m in a MAIDEN on January 29 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Reduce Speed at Bathurst over 2260m in a MAIDEN on February 12 at $8. Sure to play a major role.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 2260m at Bathurst beaten 25 m by Tedrick Brady (2:51.60) in MAIDEN on February 12 at $51. At the start before 7th (Sr3) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 25 m by Uncle Sporty (2:03.80) in MAIDEN GH on February 5 at $34. Much better gate this time and gets a chance to show his best.

Well-beaten 16 days ago at Parkes over 1660m, before that 6th (Fr4) over 2040m after being wide early at Parkes, beaten 30 m by Celebrity Cruise (2:37.30) in MAIDEN on January 31 at $71. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 35 m by Uncle Sporty (2:03.80) in MAIDEN GH on February 5 at $41. Two runs back was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m after racing wide at Parkes, beaten 30 m by Art Of Rhythm (2:03.90) in MAIDEN on January 26 at $71. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
