Bathurst R7 Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

Race comment

Failed to finish behind Joeylew Dubbo 2120m (1:59.6) R4353 race Sep 1 then ran 13m 2nd $5.50 (Sr3) Joeylew Cowra 1700m (2:01.1) R4650 race Sep 8. Improved effort last start and fitter again; contender.

Race comment

Raced wide early, tightened during running and inconvenienced when 3m 3rd $3.00 (Fr4) Cronin Tamworth 1980m (2:01.1) R4656 race Sep 5 then beaten 7.2m 3rd $23 (Fr1) Mister Magic Man Young 1720m (1:59.1) R4877 race Sep 13. Recent form consistent but no wins in past 14 months; each way preferred.

Race comment

Checked and broke when 59.5m 7th $31 (Sr2) Joeylew Dubbo 2120m (1:59.6) R4353 race Sep 1 then looked good defeating Prudent Master 4.5m $6.50 (Fr6) Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R3446 race Sep 11. Broke through last start and fitter now but could find this tougher.

Race comment

Sound effort when 9.5m 6th $6.00 (Fr5) Procurement Bathurst 2260m (1:58.8) R5054 race Aug 14 then had a flat tyre when 13.7m 6th $3.30 (Fr3) Just Won More Bathurst 1730m (1:58.4) R5057 race Aug 28. Was a winner three starts back and this looks another suitable race; could return to winning form.

Finished 23.5m 7th $39 (Fr5) Schnappshot Bathurst 1730m (1:59.4) R3846 race Sep 4 then eased early and raced wide late when 27m 7th $9.50 (Fr6) Morior Invictus Parkes 2040m (2:03.6) R3647 race Sep 15. Others rating better.

Race comment

Solid effort when 10.7m 6th $5.50 (Fr3) Courageous Dancer Newcastle 1609m (2:01.2) 3R4357 race Aug 16 then eased early when 14.5m 10th $10.00 (Fr7) Manly Boy Bathurst 2260m (2:01.3) R4658 race Sep 11. Fitter for recent runs and capable of sharp improvement on recent forgivable runs.
