Bathurst R3 Reliance Bank Pace

Race comment

Very impressive winner $1.20 (Sr2) defeating Courage Lips 17.2m Maitland 2044m (2:00.6) R4054 race Aug 26 then tired over the latter stages when 47.5m 7th $3.50 (Fr4) Fiore Stride Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R5064 race Sep 10. Had issues last start but commanding winner two back and goes well third up; can bounce back from an ideal draw here.

Race comment

Handy effort when 1.5m 5th $3.50 (Fr4) Mah Koo Loo Queen Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) R5467 race Sep 4 then held on well when 6m 5th $4.40 (Fr2) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11. Proven at this track and distance and expected to be close at the bell lap; can't take lightly.

Finished 22m 5th $5.00 (Fr3) Attacknrhythm Bathurst 1730m (1:56.0) R5670 race Aug 7 then out of position at the start when 9.5m 5th $34 (Sr4) Crossfirehall Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5463 race Sep 18. Drawn the pole and can't dismiss on sound earlier form.

Raced wide late when 11m 4th $9.00 (Sr2) Bobby Street Cowra 2160m (2:02.1) R5265 race Sep 8 then beaten 31m 9th $17 (Fr5) Peggyville Young 1720m (1:56.4) R5762 race Sep 13. Beaten a long way past couple but can't ignore on solid win three back.

Race comment

Eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 5.2m 4th $34 (Fr6) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11 then raced wide early when 12.7m 6th $81 (Fr5) Crossfirehall Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5463 race Sep 18. Not fancied.

Race comment

Held on well when 7.2m 5th $6.00 (Sr1) Melanna Beach Albion Park 1660m (1:54.2) R5583 race Aug 17 then safely held when 7.5m 3rd $2.30 (Fr5) Charlyse NZ Albion Park 2138m (1:56.9) R5476 race Aug 24. Holding form and this is easier than at past three runs; drawn awkwardly but an each way chance.

Race comment

Finished 6.7m 6th $21 (Sr3) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11 then eased early when 14m 7th $51 (Fr7) Crossfirehall Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5463 race Sep 18. Could run minor place.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Safely held when 5.5m 5th $12 (Fr1) Ideal Pleasure NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) C3-C4 race Apr 23 then tired over the latter stages when 60.5m 8th $4.00 (Fr4) Life Lavros NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.8) C3-C5 race May 8. Back from a spell and she has placed 1 from 2 fresh; contender here despite a tricky draw.

Race comment

Raced wide late when 38.5m 5th $26 (Fr5) Modern Maestro Dubbo 2120m (1:58.6) R4881 race Aug 25 then raced wide early and eased early when 14m 8th $31 (Fr4) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11. Take on trust form this gate.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 1.7m 2nd $10 (Fr5) Fortyeighthenson Bankstown 2140m (2:02.4) C2-C3 race Aug 3 then caught the eye defeating Stardust 3.5m $11 (Fr5) Menangle 1609m (1:55.0) R5464 race Sep 17. Caught the eye winning first-up but drawn less favourably here; treat warily.

Race comment

Raced wide early and eased early when 40.5m 5th $7.00 (Fr5) Bobby Street Cowra 2160m (2:02.1) R5265 race Sep 8 then out of position at the start, raced wide early and inconvenienced when 14.5m 8th $26 (Fr4) Crossfirehall Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5463 race Sep 18. Mixing form and need to take warily.
