Bathurst R4 VALE LEN NELAN PACE

Race comment

Broke during running when 12m 7th $3.90 (Sr2) Mo Chara Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R5779 race Apr 5 then covered extra ground when 21m 5th $34 (Sr1) Authoritative Bathurst 1730m (1:55.3) R5769 race Apr 17. Usually thereabouts and has each way claims.

Race comment

Eased early when 11.7m 8th $11 (Fr7) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.5) R6173 race Apr 15 then eased early when 25.5m 7th $51 (Fr8) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6175 race Apr 22. Needs to find best.

Race comment

Finished 7.2m 4th $5.50 (Fr3) Power Of Red Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R72110 race Apr 15 then beaten 8.2m 6th $26 (Fr2) Atomic Red Bathurst 1730m (1:54.0) R70118 race Apr 22. Fitter for recent racing and ready to improve.

Race comment

Handy effort when 9m 7th $7.00 (Fr3) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.5) R6173 race Apr 15 then held on well when 5.7m 3rd $7.00 (Fr2) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6175 race Apr 22. A three times winner at this course and distance and fitter for recent runs; contender here with further improvement.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 16m 6th $31 (Sr1) Animal Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R5669 race Apr 8 then raced wide early when 31.5m 9th $61 (Fr6) Authoritative Bathurst 1730m (1:55.3) R5769 race Apr 17. Poor in both recent runs.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 57.5m 9th $61 (Fr4) Catch A Moment Bathurst 1730m (1:54.9) R6076 race Apr 17 then eased early when 30.5m 10th $126 (Fr4) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6175 race Apr 22. Not fancied on current form.

Race comment

Eased early when 7.7m 6th $8.00 (Fr5) Heza Bromac NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.7) R6175 race Nov 8 then eased early when 9.2m 4th $19 (Fr7) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6175 race Apr 22. Returned from a spell with a useful fourth in similar type of race and winner of 3 from 4 second up; can't discount claims despite a sticky draw.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Uncle Jord 3m $3.60 (Fr2) Bathurst 1730m (1:54.5) R6173 race Apr 15 then looked good defeating Animal 4.7m $4.80 (Fr5) Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6175 race Apr 22. Racing in great heart and hard to beat again despite a difficult draw.

Race comment

Finished 14.5m 8th $151 (Fr2) Power Of Red Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R72110 race Apr 15 then out of position at the start and covered extra ground when 30m 8th $71 (Sr1) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6175 race Apr 22. Recent form below par.

Race comment

Beaten 17.7m 7th $16 (Sr2) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R6182 race Apr 5 then raced wide early and eased early when 19.7m 8th $13 (Fr3) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R7690 race Apr 17. Below par in recent starts but this is easier and not out of it on narrow win four back.
