Bathurst R8 GOLD CORONET

Race comment

Handy win $2.30 (Fr1) over Timothy Red 3.5m Bendigo 1650m (1:57.7) R4960 race Feb 20 then very impressive winner $1.70 (Fr5) over Andover Sun 23.5m Tabcorp Park 1720m the 3T-GP1 Need For Speed Prince 3YO (grp1) Feb 29. Three wins and a close second in four career starts; has the stats to win again.

Eased early when 10.7m 3rd $6.00 (Fr1) Gimondi NZ Menangle 2300m (1:59.9) 3T4957 race Feb 25 then was a handy winner $7.00 (Fr7) defeating Playboy In Paris 2.7m Menangle 1609m (1:56.8) 3T4758 race Mar 10. Racing consistently and drawn well; contender on last start win in this distance range.

Finished 13.7m 4th $151 (Fr3) Gimondi NZ Menangle 2300m (1:59.9) 3T4957 race Feb 25 then failed to get a clear run when 5.5m 4th $81 (Fr5) Bacardi Barmaid Menangle 1609m (1:56.8) 3T4758 race Mar 10. Unlucky fourth last start and has scope to improve here.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 8.5m 2nd $2.00 (Fr5) Son Of A Whiz NZ Bendigo 1650m (1:58.8) R4863 race Feb 20 then out of position at the start and began badly when 70m 7th $12 (Sr4) Elite Stride Tabcorp Park 1720m the 3T-GP1 Need For Speed Prince 3YO (grp1) Feb 29. Not out of it on consecutive placings prior to last start excusable run.

Race comment

Broke at the start when distanced 10th $81 (Fr4) Im Daddy Warbucks Menangle 1609m (1:56.2) 3R5054 race Feb 11 then broke at the start, hung in during the race and broke during running when beaten distanced 9th $151 (Fr3) Bacardi Barmaid Menangle 1609m (1:56.8) 3T4758 race Mar 10. Poor in both recent runs.
