Bathurst R1 TAB ODDS & EVENS PACE

Race comment

Solid effort when 6m 4th $3.00 (Sr1) Four For The Road Parkes 1660m (2:03.6) R4050 race Feb 23 then raced well when 8.5m 4th $2.70 (Fr4) Rodanthe Nights Bathurst 2260m (1:59.9) R4155 race Mar 16. Recent form sound and proven this track and distance; fitter now and ready to return to winning ways.

Race comment

Finished 61.5m 8th $19 (Fr6) Ideally Fast NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:59.4) R4150 race Mar 4 then beaten 25.5m 3rd $10.00 (Sr1) Grinforawin Young 2100m (2:02.5) R3951 race Mar 17. Minor place only.

Race comment

Out of position at the start, eased early and tired over the latter stages when 72m 10th $81 (Fr6) Gotta Party Doll NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:58.9) R4056 race Feb 19 then beaten 32.5m 9th $34 (Fr1) Joes Redemption Bathurst 2260m (1:58.8) R4555 race Mar 2. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Resuming. Raced wide early and inconvenienced when 26m 8th $2.60 (Fr6) Flash In Sam Parkes 1660m (2:00.4) R5053 race Jan 8 then raced wide early and tired over the latter stages when 75m 9th $10.00 (Fr6) Meraviglia Bathurst 2260m (1:59.1) R4855 race Jan 17. Back from a spell and he has placed 2 from 3 fresh; each way.

Race comment

Finished 20m 5th $126 (Fr2) Joes Redemption Bathurst 2260m (1:58.8) R4555 race Mar 2 then beaten 2.5m 2nd $8.00 (Fr1) Whiskiesonthebeach Young 1720m (1:59.3) R4048 race Mar 13. In the mix on last start narrow defeat.

Race comment

Slow to begin and used the sprint lane when 16.2m 2nd $31 (Fr4) Ideally Fast NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:59.4) R4150 race Mar 4 then held up for a run early in the straight when 2.2m 3rd $3.50 (Fr1) Johnrod Canberra 1770m (2:01.9) R3849 race Mar 9. In the money prospect.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 17m 8th $13 (Sr2) Chain Reaction NZ Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:59.0) R4850 race Feb 28 then raced wide early when 33m 7th $7.00 (Fr5) Show Me The Monet Canberra 1770m (1:59.3) R4849 race Mar 9. Raced wide in five of the past six runs and could improve here with a softer run.

Race comment

Raced wide early, covered extra ground and tired over the latter stages when distanced 9th $5.50 (Fr6) Terryrama Parkes 2040m (2:00.3) R4755 race Feb 23 then finished 25m 2nd $61 (Sr3) Shoobee Doo Young 1720m (1:57.3) R4950 race Mar 13. Sound run last start when second over this distance; suited at this track and contender despite drawing poorly.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 23.5m 8th $23 (Fr4) Always Bopping Bathurst 1730m (1:58.4) R4853 race Mar 4 then raced wide early, suffered gear malfunction and failed to get a clear run when beaten 32m 7th $126 (Fr6) Shoobee Doo Young 1720m (1:57.3) R4950 race Mar 13. Needs to do best to figure.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $13 (Fr1) over Arty Pharty NZ 1.5m Bathurst 1730m (1:57.3) R3546 race Feb 12 then out of position at the start and eased early when 38.5m 5th $51 (Fr8) Gotta Party Doll NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:58.9) R4056 race Feb 19. Winner at this course and distance two starts back and could bounce back here with a cleaner getaway than last start.
