Selections based on a soft track. Race 1 - 1:00PM STRIDYL | AUSTRALIAN TURF CLUB FOUNDATION COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE MAIDEN PLATE (1000 METRES) 14. Joy Of The World is a filly on debut here and she’s had two trials leading into this event.
She’s finished second in each of those trials and Tyler Schiller takes the ride. She’s well-bred and if she runs up to her trials she should take a power of beating. Tyler Schiller is riding Joy Of The World in her debut at Dubbo.

Race 2 - 1:35PM TOMMY TOYOTA SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP (1400 METRES) 2. Mad Harry has a solid record with three placings to his name from seven starts. He resumed from a spell with a late-closing second at Tamworth and only needs to run up to that.
Dangers: 1. The Impeckable resumed with a second behind Broadway Follies when narrowly beaten. There was plenty to like about that performance and he has the ability to give this a shake.
6. Ahellbenda ran third on debut and then finished fourth at Hawkesbury at her second start. She’s shown enough ability to be rated a leading chance in this.
5. Let’s Go Leo has finished second in each of his latest five starts and only needs to run up to those efforts to be a leading chance again. How to play it: Mad Harry to win.
Race 3 - 2:10PM MARTIN COLLINS AUSTRALIA BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP (2200 METRES) 6. No Second Thoughts is an ultra-consistent galloper that broke through with her second win from nine starts when leading throughout to score at Bathurst at her last outing.

Dangers: 5. Medatsu is a well-performed galloper that has won two city races of late before finishing sixth in the Wyong Cup. He’s a talented galloper and must be respected in this.
