Bathurst R4 LEXUS OF DUBBO PACE

Race comment

Won (Sr4) narrowly defeating Studleigh Paul 0.2m Young 1720m (1:58.2) 3R4353 race Mar 17 then finished 32.5m 6th $81 (Fr3) Yianni Bathurst 2260m (1:57.1) 3R4660 race Mar 23. Winner two back in this distance range when resuming and unplaced last start over a longer trip; could bounce back coming back to winning distance.

Fought on very well when 0.1m 2nd $31 (Fr6) Lifeofbrian NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R5355 race Mar 4 then handy effort when 8.7m 4th $5.00 (Sr1) Charolais Shannon Bathurst 2260m (2:00.3) R4455 race Mar 11. Fitter for recent runs and proven at this stage in the campaign; keep in mind for the exotics.

Finished 5.5m 4th $5.50 (Fr3) Watched From Above Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R4252 race Mar 11 then fought on well defeating Hard To Love 0.4m $7.00 (Fr6) Young 2100m (2:02.8) R4852 race Mar 17. In the mix on last start narrow win in weaker company.

Broke during running when 26.5m 10th $12 (Fr7) Lucky Cruz Bathurst 1730m (2:00.1) 3R3950 race Mar 2 then easy winner $3.50 (Fr5) over Miss Nea Star 9m Bathurst 2260m (2:02.6) 3F3549 race Mar 16. Broke through last start following a couple of below par performances; chance again if able to repeat that run.

Finished 22.5m 7th (Sr3) Scaramucci Young 1720m (1:58.2) 3R4353 race Mar 17 then beaten 2.5m 2nd $14 (Sr2) Safari Dancer Canberra 1770m (1:59.3) R4849 race Mar 23. Improved sharply at second run this prep and is proven third up; drawn awkwardly but can't dismiss entirely.

Race comment

Raced wide late when 11m 4th $71 (Sr3) Bettorbetbig Coolamon 1760m (1:59.7) R4751 race Mar 1 then beaten 36m 7th $19 (Sr4) Mickey Ramone Tamworth 1609m (1:58.8) R4751 race Mar 19. Place best hope.

Race comment

Battled on gamely defeating Blood Money 0.1m $2.60 (Fr4) Bathurst 1730m (1:59.0) R3350 race Mar 2 then good effort when 0.7m 2nd $2.90 (Fr4) Watched From Above Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R4252 race Mar 11. Racing well this prep and could atone for last start narrow defeat at this track and distance.

Finished 29.5m 10th $8.00 (Sr4) Impersonate Parkes 1660m (1:58.6) R5457 race Feb 23 then beaten 42m 10th $51 (Fr3) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:55.0) R5659 race Mar 11. Chance on winning form earlier in the prep.

Race comment

First start since spell. Finished 41.5m 7th $5.30 (Fr2) Fortyeighthenson Penrith 2125m (1:58.0) C1 race Jun 21 then eased early when 16.5m 8th $30 (Fr5) Cowboys N Aliens NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:01.7) C1 race Jul 6. Does not win out of turn but worth noting 2 of her 4 career wins were when fresh; could add value to the exotics.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Solid effort when 10.5m 6th $8.50 (Fr2) Carramar Times Up Bathurst 1730m (2:00.0) R5662 race Sep 4 then eased early when 5.2m 4th $7.00 (Fr8) Rocknroll Ava Bathurst 1730m (2:01.1) R5055 race Sep 11. Coming off a long break but has won 1 from 2 fresh and 4 of 5 career wins were in this distance range; could win this without surprising.
