Bathurst R1 HRNSW GUARANTEED 2YO PACE

Race comment

Solid effort when 8m 3rd $2.20 (Fr5) He Aint Fakin Bathurst 1730m (1:58.1) 2R40 race Feb 26. Placed on debut at this distance when in the market; contender here with natural improvement.

Race comment

Hung out, raced greenly and covered extra ground when 17.5m 5th $5.00 (Sr1) Gabbys Reason Parkes 1660m (2:02.7) 2R40 race Feb 5 then eased early when 6.7m 2nd $31 (Fr6) He Aint Fakin Bathurst 1730m (1:58.1) 2R40 race Feb 26. Improved effort at second career run and has scope for further improvement from a low draw here.

Race comment

Hung out when beaten 28m 7th $34 (Fr4) Icanbolt Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) 2R3940 race Feb 26. Well beaten on debut and could need more racing.

Race comment

By Shoobees Place USA out of River Light NZ having first race start. Drawn awkwardly and well beaten at his latest trial but did win consecutive trails prior; treat warily.

Race comment

Broke at the start and broke during running when distanced 7th $11 (Fr2) Gabbys Reason Parkes 1660m (2:02.7) 2R40 race Feb 5 then eased early when 26.5m 6th $31 (Fr7) Icanbolt Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) 2R3940 race Feb 26. Likely to have benefited from two recent runs but needs to improve sharply to figure.
