Dongara Race 2 - Tabtouch Dongara Sprint (Bm62+)
ARCHER COUNTY (1) needed his resuming run at Geraldton, and he is normally much sharper second up. He has good form when campaigning on the bush circuit, and will be hard to hold out. TALKING HEADS (6) has raced his way into good form and will find this easier than his last couple of starts at Narrogin. He is 5 weeks between runs and is ready to break his win drought. SPIRIT MAN (5) ran a much better race at Geraldton when finishing third there over 1113m 6 days ago. He has a superior gate this time and is another who is long overdue for a win. JUSTHANDY (4) has been battling lately in some better company and with the advantage of the pole position, a form reversal is expected, especially with the aid of a 4kg claim. SMOKEY MOUNTAIN (2) will be peaking third up and is ready to put his best hoof forward. Each way.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after six months ran last of 7 at Geraldton Rtg 58+ on March 8 over 1413m, 8 len behind Ebony's Ace with 60kg at $14. Previously second-up won by 2 len at Roebourne Cl1 May 26 over 1406m defeating Prinsessa Anja carrying 60kg at $1.50. Is a second up winner in the past and should improve with the run under his belt.

Racing well. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Narrogin Rtg 52+ on March 15 over 1190m, 4 len behind Speed Bubble carrying 57kg at $9. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 10 at Narrogin Rtg 52+ on March 3 over 1190m, 2 len behind Wise Words with 59kg at $4.60. Capable of going to the next level.
