Bathurst R7 WATTS BUILD GOLD CROWN CONSOLATION

Race comment

Was a handy winner $19 (Fr1) over Sunshine Pepper 1.5m Newcastle 1609m (2:00.0) 2R3940 race Mar 6 then beaten 50.5m 6th $26 (Sr1) Lochinvar Chief Bathurst 1730m (1:55.2) R3339 race Mar 20. Well beaten at his last start but winner on debut two back; treat warily.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 43m 6th $6.00 (Fr2) He Aint Fakin Bathurst 1730m (1:58.1) 2R40 race Feb 26 then slow to begin when 42m 7th $71 (Fr7) Idyllic Bathurst 1730m (1:56.5) R3440 race Mar 20. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Used the sprint lane when 4.7m 3rd $21 (Fr2) Kashed Up Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) 2R3841 race Mar 4 then raced wide early when 33m 6th $81 (Fr6) Idyllic Bathurst 1730m (1:56.5) R3440 race Mar 20. Covered extra ground early last start and contender on sound third prior.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 7m 2nd $8.50 (Fr7) The Grogfather Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) 2R40 race Mar 2 then tightened during running and inconvenienced when beaten 28.5m 6th $12 (Fr6) Tasty Delight Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) R3446 race Mar 20. Solid effort on debut two back at this track and distance and had excuses last start; could bounce back.

Beaten 16m 5th $7.00 (Fr3) My Buzz Lightning NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) 2R3537 race Mar 11 then eased early and checked when beaten 45m 8th $151 (Fr4) Tasty Delight Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) R3446 race Mar 20. Could improve here with a better run than last start.

Race comment

Slow to begin when 19.7m 4th $3.70 (Fr3) Icanbolt Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) 2R3940 race Feb 26 then eased early when 18m 7th $21 (Fr5) Kashed Up Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) R3340 race Mar 20. Minor place preferred.

Race comment

Handy effort when 5m 2nd $4.80 (Fr4) My Buzz Lightning NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) 2R3537 race Mar 11 then eased early when 29m 7th $34 (Fr7) Tasty Delight Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) R3446 race Mar 20. Has already placed this course and distance and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

Finished 21m 6th $7.00 (Sr1) Kashed Up Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) 2R3841 race Mar 4 then out of position at the start when distanced 10th $81 (Sr1) Idyllic Bathurst 1730m (1:56.5) R3440 race Mar 20. Could improve here with a cleaner start.
