Bathurst R4 BARKERS BUTCHERY PACE

Race comment

Handy win $1.20 (Fr7) over Left Tennant 4.2m Bathurst 2260m (1:55.8) R70120 race Mar 20 then convincing win over Loorrim Creek 9.5m $1.30 (Fr7) Bathurst 2260m (1:54.7) R70120 race Mar 28. Racing in great heart and can win again with even luck from the second row.

Race comment

Safely held when 4.5m 4th $12 (Fr6) Smooth Sailor Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R7493 race Mar 4 then finished 19.5m 2nd $12 (Fr6) Ned Pepper Penrith 2125m (1:55.3) R7491 race Mar 19. Holding form fairly well and has each way claims.

Race comment

Finished 8m 3rd $11 (Fr6) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:55.8) R70120 race Mar 20 then raced wide early when 19.2m 7th $26 (Fr4) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:54.7) R70120 race Mar 28. Not hopeless on useful third two back.

Race comment

Eased early when 21.5m 7th $26 (Fr5) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:55.8) R70120 race Mar 20 then eased early when 14.5m 5th $71 (Fr5) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:54.7) R70120 race Mar 28. Fitter for two recent runs and has placed third up before.

Eased early when 22.5m 8th $101 (Fr3) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:55.8) R70120 race Mar 20 then looked good defeating Cankickatarget 1.5m $26 (Sr1) Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R6689 race Apr 1. Hard to catch lately and this tougher than last start.

Race comment

Battled on gamely defeating Spare Me Days 0.4m $4.00 (Fr4) Young 2480m the GROUP3 Young Cup (grp3) Mar 16 then raced wide early when 31.5m 9th $16 (Fr2) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:54.7) R70120 race Mar 28. Minor excuses when well beaten first up and can't dismiss on perfect second up record (3 from 3).

Race comment

Eased early when 17m 8th $10.00 (Fr6) Bodhi Tree Redcliffe 2280m (1:58.4) R7491 race Nov 1 then eased early when 23.5m 6th $16 (Fr7) Callmequeenbee Bathurst 1730m (1:55.2) R7492 race Feb 26. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Held on well when 5.5m 6th $6.50 (Fr7) Smooth Sailor Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R7493 race Mar 4 then sound effort when 2.7m 6th $10.00 (Fr6) Arma The Gun Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R6192 race Mar 14. Proven at this track and distance and could improve on recent efforts.

Race comment

Held on well when 5.5m 3rd $23 (Fr2) Cruz NZ Menangle 1609m (1:49.9) R71116 race Mar 21 then eased early when 11.2m 3rd $61 (Fr8) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:54.7) R70120 race Mar 28. Has placed in two of his last three starts and goes well this distance; the main danger.

Race comment

Resuming. Finished 15.7m 6th $3.70 (Fr2) Hes Okey Dokey NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.8) C5+ race May 21 then beaten 34m 10th $21 (Fr4) Loorrim Creek Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) C7+ race Jun 1. Resumes here and while he hasn't won since mid 2018 he has a solid fresh record (3 from 6); keep safe.
