Merriwa Race 2 - Mdn Hcp
THE PRACTITIONER (10) is a eight-start maiden who finished 13th at his most recent outing over 2200m at Dubbo after he got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. CLAN D'ORO (7) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing eighth over 1200m at Tamworth last start. Better than the last run suggests. BONNIE DUBAI (5) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1012m at Taree on April 5. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. ANGRY BET (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at Wellington, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
