GOING: S(7)

DALBY CABS Class 3 Handicap 2000m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder.  

Shake'n'bake or The Manipulator to lead the small field. FLASH PRINCE (5) was too bad to be true last time out when well in the betting but go on the dominant Toowoomba victory two back. Has placed two from four over this distance range and a return to form would not surprise. THE MANIPULATOR (2) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to feature in a race like this. Keep very safe while fresh. SHAKE'N'BAKE (1) is a very consistent gelding who has remarkably only missed the top-five once in 17 career starts. Has to be included. BONZABELTER (3) got the maiden out of the way last start and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough win. In the mix. SUMMER STAR (13) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,2,1,3.
