Dubbo Race 3 - Bourkes Horse Rugs Pace
WHATABOUTBRONSON (1) finished fourth last start over 1660m at Parkes, beaten 8 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Certainly cannot be faulted after that last effort. Good enough to take out a race of this calibre. TULHURST PEBBLES (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.4 metres from the winner in third over 1720m at Young. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Meets a comparable field and she is a strong winning hope. PEAKSART (8) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Parkes over 1660m. LOOKAT MEE (2) missed narrowly last start and draws lower.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Springfield Desire at Parkes over 1660m in a NR 36 to 38 on June 20 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Gabbys Sportstar at Parkes over 1660m in a NR 38 to 40 on July 4 at $3.30. Top contender based on recent form.
