AAP

Failed to threaten at Dubbo second-up as an outsider. First time around Forbes. Keener on others.

ILB

Odds of $91.00 and lost ground in the run home when 10th last time at Dubbo. Looks highly doubtful.

Beaten a long way over 6½f at Dubbo (handicap) last month; he meets the required standard ability wise; a leading contender as shown he can get his head in front.

RSIS

At 90/1 didn't attack the line when 10th last start at Dubbo.

AAP

Modest performance at Grenfell. Handles all conditions. Super fit from racing, right in the mix.

ILB

Jumped at $7.00 and not competitive when 5th last start at Grenfell. Can make a comeback. Should feature prominently.

This is her level; not disgraced when fifth of six over 7f at Grenfell (handicap) last month; shown she can get her head in front so could have a say.

RSIS

Started 6/1 and not in contention when 5th last start at Grenfell. Giving another go here. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

AAP

Forwardly placed, continued to stick on at Wellington over this distance. Advantaged if soft. Ticks the track and distance win box. Good enough to figure.

ILB

Set a strong tempo before fading to place 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Wellington. Will be positive in the run early. Will go close.

Produced a good effort to finish runner-up at Wellington three weeks ago; has won over C&D; if she is able to build on her most recent effort then warrants respect.

RSIS

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at Wellington. Has early pace and positions nicely. Attracts support.

AAP

Sent out $41 when battled home to finish 5th at Dubbo. Coming back in distance. Fit from racing, can make the podium.

ILB

Jumped at $41.00 and ran on into 5th last run at Dubbo but dropping back to a shorter trip. Yet to fire this preparation. Prefer in something weaker.

Not disgraced when fifth of ten last month at Dubbo upped to 1m3f; useful in this grade.

RSIS

Odds of 40/1 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last start at Dubbo but back in trip. Struggling recently with no placings from 8 attempts.

AAP

In touch but couldn't find anything when pressured at Dubbo. Secures inside draw in small field. Should appreciate getting back to this trip. Can find a few lengths here.

ILB

Faded to finish 8th last run at Dubbo. Should improve and has a positive barrier. Displays good tactical speed. Can measure up against these.

Finished eighth, beaten a fair way last month at Dubbo in a conditions race; is passed over; also engaged in race 4 at Forbes.

RSIS

Folded up in the straight when 8th last time at Dubbo. Happy to overlook that run and has a good draw. Expecting to settle positively. Right in the mix.

Backing up quickly. Had all before him at turn and went home tamely at Goulburn over today's trip. Usually gets back. Could pop up at fair odds.

ILB

On a short back up. Below par performance when 8th last run at Goulburn and has to cope with a weight increase. Likely to settle back in the field.

Last of eight at Goulburn on Tuesday; shown only moderate recent form and quite a while since he tasted success; others appeal more.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Well beaten when 8th last run at Goulburn and going up in weight. Likely to get back.

Settled back and always among the cab-catchers at Dubbo over longer test. Switching to 1600m. Needs a form spike.

ILB

Couldn't stay in touch when 10th last time at Dubbo but has the ideal barrier. Will be trying to topple them late. Dropping in distance. Watch betting.

Not always shown an awful lot since winning a conditions race at Narromine in June and largely in poor form of late; finished behind Bellman over 1m3f at Dubbo (handicap) when last of ten last month; passed over.

RSIS

Didn't find the line when 10th last time at Dubbo but can save some energy from the draw. Always seems to find the line well. Will be dropping in distance.

Odds correct as at Sat 10 Oct, 3:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
