Dubbo   04 May 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

ORANA MALL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

Without frontrunners engaged Dashing Vision gets the chance to lead. JEFFO (5) made a promising return despite a betting drift at Dubbo a few weeks ago over a shorter trip and will be better for the step up in distance. Sure to be a major player. SWEET KICK (4) opened short and drifted in betting when resuming for new stable at Mudgee. Better draw here and can be an improver. COLONEL LIGHT (1) is around the mark and SHOEBILL (12) and OUTCAST SOLDIER (11) could place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jeffo to win. Save on Sweet Kick.
