Bathurst R1 Tab Odds & Evens Pace

Race comment

Sound effort when 6m 2nd $3.20 (Fr3) Dinosaurus Rex Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R4749 race Sep 4 then solid effort when 5.2m 3rd $8.00 (Fr1) Whos Driving Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5055 race Sep 11. Lightly raced improver; likely leader here and could be in it for a long way with added fitness.

Eased early when 10.7m 3rd $8.50 (Fr4) Enk Spot Shannon Bathurst 1730m (1:58.9) R4954 race Sep 4 then beaten 22.5m 3rd $34 (Fr3) Joeylew Bathurst 2260m (1:59.0) R5255 race Sep 18. Useful placings at past two runs and stays in the mix.

Ran 13m 2nd $5.50 (Sr3) Joeylew Cowra 1700m (2:01.1) R4650 race Sep 8 then very impressive winner $4.80 (Sr1) over Tulhurst Terror 14.7m Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R4451 race Sep 18. Won well at his last start and contender again despite a less favourable draw and slightly stronger company.

Caught the eye defeating Prudent Master 4.5m $6.50 (Fr6) Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R3446 race Sep 11 then eased early when 15.7m 3rd $21 (Fr8) Cobbity Conquest Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R4451 race Sep 18. Not hopeless on current form.

Finished 15.5m 6th $61 (Fr2) Whos Driving Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5055 race Sep 11 then eased early when 33.5m 5th $51 (Fr7) Cobbity Conquest Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R4451 race Sep 18. Safely held here.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 12.5m 4th $11 (Fr4) Whos Driving Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5055 race Sep 11 then checked and raced wide early when beaten 34m 6th $51 (Fr4) Joeylew Bathurst 2260m (1:59.0) R5255 race Sep 18. Treat warily.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 10.7m 2nd $15 (Fr5) Roll With Nike Cowra 1700m (2:03.1) R4750 race Sep 8 then impressive winner $9.50 (Fr4) over Nekite River 7m Parkes 2040m (2:00.9) R4855 race Sep 15. Easy winner last start at second run this prep and has upside; keep in mind.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 21.5m 10th $14 (Fr5) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11 then beaten 51m 9th $14 (Sr1) Joeylew Bathurst 2260m (1:59.0) R5255 race Sep 18. Has placed 2 from 7 this track and distance and could repeat.

Race comment

Suffered gear malfunction when 27.5m 12th $41 (Sr2) Spike Robyn NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) C2-C3 race Jun 26 then covered extra ground when 33m 12th $14 (Sr3) Crossfirehall Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5463 race Sep 18. Well beaten last start when forced to cover extra ground; fitter now and could improve with a better luck in running.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 10m 6th $31 (Fr2) Senora Rapido NZ Penrith 1720m (1:57.3) R5666 race Sep 12 then eased early when 32m 7th $61 (Fr8) Golddigger Girl Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R5157 race Sep 17. Draw not an issue here given his racing style and rates well on sound second in stronger company three back.
