NEXT BEST Race 2 No. 2: BLUE DE BEERS Local juvenile on debut from a top yard armed with some excellent trials. VALUE BET Race 7 No. 11: CUMNOCK Has the lowest rating in the field but is a local on the way up. QUADDIE Race 5: 1, 10 Race 6: 2, 6, 11, 7 Race 7: 1, 11 Race 8: 1, 2 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW KODY NESTOR could skip out to an early lead in the TAB Jockey Challenge. INSIDE MAIL - DUBBO RACE 1: WESTSIDE HOTEL COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE 3YO & UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m FUEL THE JET (1) was bred to win the AJC Derby; his sire Starcraft did as did another one of his close relations, Dr Grace. Fuel The Jet has spent plenty of time in the hanger bearing in mind that this is the six-year-old's second start. Has talent, trialled well. ANDALE (2) makes his debut at home from a good draw. Trialled well three times, two of them here at Dubbo. Vormista's son, BEAUMISTA (4) sent out good signs first-up. Hails from an astute stable. Bet: Fuel The Jet to win RACE 2: KINGS HALL JEWELLERS SHOWCASE SILVER GOBLET - 2YO HANDICAP 1100m BLUE DE BEERS (2) is a Clint Lundholm-trained local dealt the visitors draw but there are only nine runners so it could have been worse. Both trials have been fantastic but he is giving away race experience to all rivals. The only winner in the Goblet is JOSEPHINE (3) who beat the Star Kingdom winner, Gemologist at Gunnedah. REGAL PROBLEM (6) ran third to Hidden Motive on debut. Bet: Blue De Beers to win, quinella 2, 3 RACE 3: PRECISION HEALTH CARE SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1300m LORD VETTORI (4) could be saved for another venue on another day given the draw. In his absence, all roads lead to CURRUMBIN ALLEY (1) who is bred to be a miler, maybe even more, so all credit to the son of Vancouver (out of a Savabeel mare) for his half-length second at Gunnedah over 1250m. Drawn 1, 1300m and every extra metre assists. GRANDINI (10) was passed late first-up by Zelestial who might be above average. Bet: Lord Vettori to win or of scratched, Currumbin Alley to win RACE 4: DUBBO RSL CLUB WINTER COUNTRY CLASSIC QUALIFIER CG&E BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1300m SPEEDY HENRY (2) has two wins and a third from four starts. He was $3 in a TAB Highway on April 26 at Randwick and had excuses for what was still a pretty creditable run. He's not an outright 'good thing' here but it would be hard to make a case for something to beat him. The one most likely, if at all, is the Brett Robb-trained WASTED DAYS (5) who might well go around later in the day as an emergency (Race 6). INVASIVE (1) has come back really well. Bet: Speedy Henry to win RACE 5: DUBBO RSL CLUB WINTER COUNTRY CLASSIC QUALIFIER F&M BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1300m ZELESTIAL (10) came to Australia with two runs in Ireland on her C.V, the first was a fifth to subsequent Group 3 winner Givemethebeatboys. The Lyle Chandler-trained daughter of Zoustar trialled like a bomb before her winning debut at Tamworth where she got a great ride. Scratched from Taree on Thursday to run here. WILLINGA KARISMA (1) has the home ground advantage. She's never been closer to a win. MISSY MOSS (9) has a bad draw but Bullock will help with that. Bet: Zelestial to win RACE 6: WESTERN PLAINS AUTOMOTIVE COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m PRESSNELL (2) is a genuinely talented son of Press Statement, hence the name, think Max. This big, bold gelding has a win, a second and two fifths from his four starts. This was already a very winnable race for the Mack Griffith-trained galloper but his chances went up when he drew 2 and Bullock booked. SORRENTO PALACE (6) aims to, and can, snap a sequence of three consecutive seconds, keeping in mind that the last two were by very narrow margins indeed. Bet: Pressnell to win, quinella 2, 6, box trifecta 2, 6, 11, 7 RACE 7: FARDELLS HEAVY HAULAGE & CRANE HIRE SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1000m CUMNOCK (11) has the lowest Benchmark rating in this race; he's on 60, the ones at the top are both on 77. That said, he is a last start winner on the move. Was to run in the Highway on Saturday but is way down the list so run here instead where he is two from two at the track and trip. IRON HAT (1) has won six races with 12 placings. Famously unlucky at times, the Jan Bowen-trained chestnut has mixed and matched it in better races than this. ZAKOR (4) is good enough to win most country sprints; this one included. Bet: Cumnock each-way, quinella 1, 11 RACE 8: EVERGREEN TURF | ELITE SAND & SOIL SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1400m RHYTHM IS A DANCER (2) has won seven races in 27 starts with eight placings which is a fine achievement on his, and trainer Brett Cavanough's, behalf. Among those wins are a Country Cup at Scone and a Spring Cup at Tamworth where he beat Russley Crown each time as it happens. Walked in at Inverell last start. This is harder if only for the presence of another good, old trusty Scone resident namely THE DRAMATIST (1). That said, he needs things to pan out for him but when they do, he's city class. Bet: Rhythm Is A Dancer to win

Race-by-race tips and previews for Friday's Dubbo meeting
Selections based on a soft track Race 1 1. Fuel The Jet had two trials either side of a break before debuting with a third at Narromine in September last year. He only went down narrowly in that event and was then spelled. He resumes here having had a trial at Gunnedah in which he finished second, with third placegetter Spanish Night winning at Moree on Tuesday. 5. He'sthechief resumes here and has shown talent. He won a trial at Gunnedah over Fuel The Jet leading into this event. 4. Beaumista was first-up from a spell when finishing second at Tamworth and can make an impact again with a repeat of that. 7. Bouvier is an import that was midfield at Inverell at her Australian debut. She bears close watching. How to play it: Fuel The Jet WIN. Race 2 3. Josephine looked good in two trials before debuting and racing on the speed to score a dominant victory at Gunnedah. She can go on with the job here. 6. Regal Problem had solid trial form before debuting with a second at Hawkesbury. She's drawn well and is set to run well again. 1. Four Degrees ran well when placed at Mudgee before breaking through to score at Inverell in good style. 2. Blue De Beers is on debut and has looked good in two trials. How to play it: Josephine WIN. Race 3 1. Currumbin Alley started favourite on debut at Gunnedah and ran home well to finish second. He's drawn the inside here and should get the run of the race and break through with a win. 10. Grandini resumed at Tamworth last month and ran well when finishing second. She's been placed in five of 10 starts and is worth including. 9. Count Your Pennies was midfield at Wellington when resuming and can get into the placings, while 12. Marin County has had one Australian start at Inverell and should be better for that experience. How to play it: Currumbin Alley WIN. Race 4 2. Speedy Henry won at this track on debut last December then resumed with an easy victory at Scone at his second start. He since ran sixth in a Highway at Randwick before a last start third at Scone when battling on solidly. 3. Hammering Away was a winner at this track last November and since resumed with a fifth at Parkes. He has the talent to run well here. 5. Wasted Days ran home well when a close second at Parkes last time out and has claims on that effort. 1. Invasive has been racing well with a couple of recent placings and can be thereabouts again. How to play it: Speedy Henry WIN.
