Bathurst R8 TAB ODDS & EVENS PACE

Race comment

Solid effort when 6.5m 6th (Fr7) Dunno Jo Bathurst 1730m (1:59.9) R4255 race Jan 6 then checked and broke when 47.5m 10th $9.50 (Sr1) Talk About Lexy Bathurst 1730m (1:56.1) R4853 race Jan 29. Had a genuine excuse last start; drawn ideally here and contender on close third three back.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 9.5m 6th $2.20 (Fr2) Holy Camp Rob Young 1720m (1:59.0) R4650 race Dec 3 then safely held when 3.7m 4th $3.00 (Fr1) Dukkah Bathurst 2260m (2:01.1) R4852 race Dec 13. Improved by two runs since a spell; further improvement is possible and he has placed 2 from 3 third up.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 28.5m 7th $31 (Fr7) Talk About Lexy Bathurst 1730m (1:56.1) R4853 race Jan 29 then inconvenienced when beaten 19.5m 5th $4.00 (Sr2) Headline Hunter Parkes 2040m (2:03.1) R4147 race Feb 5. Drawn the second row but usually thereabouts and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

Eased early and checked when 33m 9th $151 (Fr6) Lochiel NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:55.6) R4758 race Jan 29 then beaten 12.2m 6th $34 (Fr4) Gotta Kick Bathurst 1730m (1:59.8) R3650 race Feb 2. Safely held here.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight and checked and broke when 18.5m 6th $4.80 (Sr2) Family Ambition Parkes 2040m (2:01.4) R4749 race Jan 26 then beaten 38.5m 7th $4.80 (Fr1) Arty Pharty NZ Parkes 1660m (2:00.1) R3959 race Feb 5. Fitter for recent runs and this distance should suit.

Race comment

Solid effort when 7.7m 8th $5.00 (Fr8) The Warp Reactor Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R4647 race Jan 29 then fought on very well when 3.2m 3rd $8.00 (Fr4) Dinosaurus Rex Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R4050 race Feb 2. In the mix on last start improved run.

Race comment

Finished 8.2m 4th $26 (Sr3) Family Ambition Parkes 2040m (2:01.4) R4749 race Jan 26 then hung in during the race when beaten 60.5m 9th $18 (Fr2) Arty Pharty NZ Parkes 1660m (2:00.1) R3959 race Feb 5. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Finished 29m 10th $51 (Sr1) Jak Magic Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) R3852 race Dec 13 then beaten 7m 7th $41 (Sr2) The Warp Reactor Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R4647 race Jan 29. Take on trust.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $61 (Sr1) defeating The Ringmaster 1.5m Bathurst 1730m (1:57.7) R3745 race Jan 29 then out of position at the start when 28m 8th $51 (Fr8) Dark Terror Bathurst 1730m (1:58.2) R3551 race Feb 2. Hard to catch.

Race comment

Resuming. Finished 23m 6th $67 (Sr1) Major McRae NZ Parkes 2040m (2:01.8) 3C0 race Jul 22 then raced roughly and tired over the latter stages when distanced 9th $49 (Fr1) Bronski Belle Bathurst 1730m (1:55.7) C0 race Aug 1. Back from a long spell and could need this run.
