Bathurst R8 SPEEDS L/SCAPING GOLD CROWN CONSOLATION

Race comment

Eased early and broke during running when distanced 9th $71 (Fr8) My Buzz Lightning NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) 2R3537 race Mar 11 then out of position at the start and checked and broke when 70.5m 6th $101 (Sr1) Rocknroll Runa Bathurst 1730m (2:00.1) R3343 race Mar 20. Needs to improve his racing style to figure.

Race comment

Tightened during running, raced greenly and inconvenienced when 16m 4th $21 (Fr6) Gabbys Reason Parkes 1660m (2:02.7) 2R40 race Feb 5 then beaten 16.7m 6th $81 (Fr3) Kashed Up Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) R3340 race Mar 20. In the mix for the exotics.

Race comment

Convincing winner $2.90 (Fr2) defeating Mach Daddy 7m Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) 2R40 race Mar 2 then finished 33m 6th $5.50 (Fr3) Ideal Dan Bathurst 1730m (1:57.3) R3441 race Mar 20. A winner at this course and distance two back and this easier than last start; could bounce back.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 31m 8th $151 (Fr1) The Grogfather Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) 2R40 race Mar 2 then tired over the latter stages when 54.5m 9th $126 (Fr2) Idyllic Bathurst 1730m (1:56.5) R3440 race Mar 20. Poor in both career runs.

Race comment

Beaten 15.5m 6th $12 (Sr1) The Grogfather Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) 2R40 race Mar 2 then slow to begin when 51.5m 7th $23 (Fr2) Lochinvar Chief Bathurst 1730m (1:55.2) R3339 race Mar 20. Fitter for two recent runs and could improve here with a cleaner getaway.

Race comment

Finished 9.5m 4th $11 (Fr5) Jackomondo Newcastle 1609m (2:00.0) 2R3940 race Mar 6 then broke at the start and tightened during running when 42.5m 8th $81 (Fr1) Idyllic Bathurst 1730m (1:56.5) R3440 race Mar 20. Tardy starts are not helping his chances.

Race comment

Eased early and raced roughly when 91m 5th $11 (Fr3) Rocknroll Runa Shepparton 1690m (2:00.1) 2R3339 race Mar 13 then out of position at the start when 70.5m 9th $34 (Fr5) Tasty Delight Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) R3446 race Mar 20. Well beaten in both career starts but not helped by poor racing manners.
