Dubbo Race 5 - Gallagher Pace
ALWAYS LIGHTNING (5) was out of the money two runs back at Bathurst then improved sharply last start to score by 7 metres over 2000m at Blayney. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. FUNDA (4) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further last time out when he scored by 2.75 metres over 1730m at Bathurst. Meets a similar line up so he can make it two on the bounce. BARLOR HEAVEN (3) is better than his last-start eighth over 1730m at Bathurst. ZOLTON (6) must be respected after scoring last start by 13 metres at Blayney over 2000m.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1770m at Albury was 7th-10.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Beach Delight (2:10.50) in NR up to 52 on February 13 at $34. Two runs back won by 5.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Young (2:05.80) beating Sheza Bettor Gem in NR up to 50 M on February 3 at $4.20 at the bell was leading 0.9. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
