Bathurst R4 LEXUS OF DUBBO PACE

Race comment

Broke during running when distanced 10th $34 (Sr2) Rocky Creed Bathurst 1730m (1:53.5) R5469 race Mar 28 then good effort when 2.2m 2nd $9.00 (Fr2) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R6182 race Apr 5. Holding form and suited in this company; could atone for last start narrow defeat.

Resuming. Safely held when 2.2m 4th $2.70 (Sr1) Major Sea Shepparton 2190m (2:00.0) R5370 race Jan 11 then out of position at the start and covered extra ground when 37.5m 9th $5.30 (Sr1) Better Exclusive NZ Tabcorp Park 2240m (1:57.5) R5373 race Jan 17. First-up, proven at this stage of a preparation, and likes this track.
