Dubbo Race 5 - Shire Bar And Grill Pace
SPEARHEAD (1) ran seventh last start at Parkes over 2040m, beaten 15 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and has the class to take this out. IM HERE TO PARTY (7) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Sure to be right there at the finish. IRK MCGLURK (8) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5.5 metres at Forbes over 1680m. Top-three prospects. WHATABOUTBRONSON (5) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 2040m at Parkes.
