Talented filly Ballerini will be out for redemption against her older rivals at Dubbo tonight.
The Bernie Hewitt-trained three-year-old will face more seasoned horses in the Group 3 Red Ochre Classic.
She finished fifth in her heat last week after breaking and just qualifying for this $30,600 feature.
Ballerini will start from outside the front row.
Bathurst horsewoman Amanda Turnbull has two chances in the race with Sweet Heaven (three) and Fasika (seven).
Turnbull will drive the latter after finishing second in her heat while her stable foreman Isobel Ross, the defending champion of the race, will drive Sweet Heaven who won her heat last week with Turnbull at the reins.
Turnbull’s father Steve Turnbull has the ever-consistent Myra Dawn in the race.
The 12-time winner will be driven by Mitch Turnbull who was involved in a race fall at Bathurst on Wednesday, however, escaped injury and could fulfil the remainder of his drives on that program.
The iForm team have put together the best bets for today:
Dubbo best bet
Race 6: Aphorism (5)
Could have their measure far from disgraced in the Inter Dominion heats.
Dubbo next best
Race 3: Bell River Boy (10)
Makes his presence felt close up from the tail here last Friday
Around the tracks
Wagga best bet
Race 2: Beyond Bling (1)
Good on debut and then plain last time. Expecting a big run from the pole.
Play the exotics
The Dubbo quaddie
Race 5: 10-6-7-3-1
Race 6: 5-8
Race 7: 10-1-6
Race 8: 7-4-5-6
