Bathurst R8 JENOLAN CAVES TOUR 26 MARCH 3YO PACE

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 62m 8th $34 (Fr5) Zeuss Bromac NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) 3R5056 race Jan 28 then good effort when 2m 2nd $1.70 (Fr2) Pat McGarry Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) 3R4754 race Feb 26. Holding form well and contender here despite a tricky draw.

Race comment

Raced well when 0.1m 2nd $8.00 (Sr1) Feels Lika Winner Canberra 2170m (2:02.2) 3F4757 race Feb 16 then beaten 29m 7th $71 (Fr4) Dr Susan NZ Menangle 2400m (1:55.8) 3F5185 race Feb 22. Drops significantly in class for this and rates highly on narrow defeat two back.

Race comment

Resuming. Checked and broke when 24.5m 6th $9.00 (Fr2) Dynamite Beach Newcastle 2030m (2:03.5) R4150 race Nov 20. Resumes here and was unplaced at only previous run; might need more racing.

Race comment

Fought on very well when 0.2m 2nd $4.60 (Fr7) Joes Joy Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) 3R4658 race Feb 19 then raced wide early when 17.5m 4th $5.00 (Fr6) Pat McGarry Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) 3R4754 race Feb 26. Recent form sound and close to peak fitness; each way.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 14.2m 5th $12 (Fr7) Has The Courage Bathurst 1730m (1:55.3) R5055 race Dec 26 then beaten 6.5m 3rd $8.50 (Sr1) Pat McGarry Bathurst 1730m (1:56.7) 3R4154 race Feb 9. Placed in two from past three runs and worth including in the wider exotics.
