Bathurst R8 REMEMBERING ROBERT LEE PACE

Race comment

Good run when 0.4m 2nd $2.90 (Fr4) Power Of Red Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R72110 race Apr 15 then handy effort when 8.5m 4th $3.50 (Sr2) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R7690 race Apr 17. A 6 from 18 wins at this course and distance and well placed in this field; solid chance.

Resuming from a spell. Looked good defeating Toya Lombo 2.2m $2.00 (Fr9) Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R4860 race Jan 25 then was a handy winner $1.60 (Sr2) defeating Im Ok 3.2m Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:57.6) R6469 race Feb 11. Proven first up performer and has a very good overall record record (71%); this is tougher but warrants respect.

Finished 1.5m 2nd $31 (Sr2) Bettor Than Best Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R6689 race Apr 1 then beaten 7.5m 3rd $12 (Sr1) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R7690 race Apr 17. Could earn another cheque.

Race comment

Sound effort when 10m 5th $6.50 (Fr2) Tact Maggie NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.9) R6084 race Jan 29 then battled on gamely defeating Misterfreeze 0.1m $6.50 (Fr2) Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R7493 race Mar 4. Last start winner at this course and distance and should be fitter for recent racing; among the better chances.

Race comment

Eased early when 7.5m 5th $101 (Fr5) Rock Bottom NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.5) R6173 race Apr 15 then beaten 0.4m 2nd $4.20 (Sr1) Im All Courage Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5468 race Apr 20. Good run last start when second over this distance and stays in the mix.

Finished 13.5m 9th $34 (Sr1) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:57.6) R5870 race Apr 11 then eased early when 13.5m 4th $151 (Fr7) Catch A Moment Bathurst 1730m (1:54.9) R6076 race Apr 17. Not hopeless on latest effort.

Finished 8.7m 4th $61 (Sr2) Firestorm Red Bathurst 2260m (1:59.1) R6279 race Apr 8 then beaten 18.5m 7th $34 (Fr2) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R7690 race Apr 17. Place claims best.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 14.2m 9th $51 (Fr8) Bettor Than Best Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R6689 race Apr 1 then eased early when 14.5m 5th $51 (Fr5) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R7690 race Apr 17. Could be thereabouts.

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. Resuming here and winner of 3 from 6 when fresh; could go close if ready.

Race comment

Finished 11m 9th $81 (Fr5) Smooth Sailor Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R7493 race Mar 4 then eased early and used the sprint lane when 7.2m 2nd $126 (Fr6) Scarlet Babe Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R7690 race Apr 17. More needed to threaten.
