The Money Trail – Dubbo, August 23

Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Tuesday’s meeting at Dubbo.

Bernie's Desert (Race 1) has taken over as the market elect at $3.50 with good support seeing him shorten a point and a quarter. He resumes today after showing promise at his initial campaign where he placed at two of three runs and should be a more mature horse this time around.

Suncraze (Race 2) has been hammered in betting and is now into the red at $1.80, a full point shorter than his opening price. The Melanie O’Gorman-trained gelding is on debut but has impressed in two barrier trial wins, the latest at Tamworth by 4.5 lengths.

Abstract Lady (Race 3) is challenging for favouritism at $3.90 having shortened more than two points in early trading. The mare has finished fourth at two of her three runs this campaign and her last start was her best yet when running on to be beaten less than two lengths.
