Race by race preview and tips for Dubbo on Monday

Follow well 4 and ride 6m from 900m to 400m and the rest true.

RACE 1

6. Tropicana’s Cube he is fiercely fit and will be given a chance in a weak race after an early clear fancy. He hasn’t had much luck on shorter trips and has been competitive in much better races than this one earlier in preparation. 7. Shylock is a fit veteran who finds the thinner BM58 even in the wild. 1. Wil To Excel he got four weeks between runs a shade further and is still fine for a 10 year old.
How to play it: Tropicana’s Cube to win.

RACE 2

3. Shadow Great Dane is a very honest home pacer well placed for a third win deep in preparation. We swept home to win in the lower grade before struggling from an uncomfortable spot in the deeper BM66 here. Then, in a similar company in Tamworth three weeks ago, they just got knocked over the head. Back a furlong to trip from a soft draw where he can settle a little closer in the run. 1. Burrow is a tough Canberra sprinter who has won his last two and fought hard under pressure. Doubt that the winner comes from elsewhere, but be safe 2. Amazing Tycoonwho was fresh off a struggling fourth win in similar company while 7. Miss Bariloche is another trained on the track that continues to improve rapidly.
How to play it: Shadow Dane wins.

RACE 3

8. Vicious Rumor she is an underappreciated stablemate from the previous racing selection, who did not get the last four places only once. He stayed strong in Wellington before being beaten by the promising at Bathurst just before Christmas. Back home on a bigger circuit and he can finish over them. 6. Magurtz is a lightly raced three-year-old who will peak at his third start. 4. Stuck In The Gorge he hasn’t been far in two runs to start his career, and the inside draw can either lead or sit right behind him. Gap to the rest in the lead 9. Zucchinisecond place on a longer journey and to a greater extent local training 2. Codonsit also improves in second place over the next.
How to play it: Vicious Rumor to win.

RACE 4

7. The Devil’s Sun is an emerging three-year-old ready to break through on his second start. It was a long shot when he made up plenty of ground on debut behind a dominant winner who was then just beaten in Saturday’s company. Bred to get further, but from a more economical draw where he can settle closer, he only needs clean air from 350m to get over them. 6. Supplier is a clear threat, summing up for the nimble country stable with blinkers on. 9. Just Joan is deep in her preparation, fading late after chasing a promising winner last start. 11. Star Whisperrer he has natural speed and is a clear improvement in his second start.
How to play it: Devilish Sun wins.
