Race comment

Eased early when 0.5m 2nd $5.50 (Fr6) Akuma Bathurst 1730m (2:01.6) R3450 race Apr 29 then good run when 1.5m 3rd $1.90 (Fr2) Alpha Xena Bathurst 1730m (2:01.1) R3449 race May 10. A winner at this course and distance earlier this preparation and recent form encouraging; draw also a positive.

Eased early and checked when 12m 5th $11 (Fr7) Camanchi Warrior Bathurst 1730m (1:59.7) R4560 race May 10 then eased early, checked and used the sprint lane when beaten 6m 4th $15 (Fr3) So Am I Bathurst 2260m (2:00.3) R4560 race May 17. Luckless past couple and was a solid winner at this track and distance three back.

Hung in during the race when 11.2m 5th $13 (Sr2) Rusty McCool Bathurst 1730m (2:00.3) 3R4354 race May 10 then raced wide early when 22m 4th $31 (Fr5) Misdemeanor Bathurst 1730m (1:56.1) 3R4054 race May 17. Not hopeless on sound recent form win slightly weaker company.

Inconvenienced when 8m 3rd $81 (Fr5) Lavros Midas Touch NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:58.6) R4354 race May 6 then caught the eye defeating Sporty Mickilla 4.7m $81 (Fr2) Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R4554 race May 13. Keep in mind for the exotics on current form.

Eased early when 0.7m 3rd $2.20 (Fr6) My Mels Place Bathurst 1730m (1:58.3) R3755 race May 6 then won $1.30 (Fr4) narrowly defeating Remember Bubbles 0.4m Bathurst 2260m (2:00.3) R4560 race May 17. Narrow winner last start and drop in distance shouldn't be a problem in this company.

Scored handily over Spooky Dreams 1.2m $3.80 (Fr6) Bathurst 1730m (1:58.6) R4354 race May 6 then raced wide early when 5m 4th $3.90 (Fr7) The Girls Have It Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R4554 race May 13. Recent form solid and has the gate speed to race on pace if required.

Finished 14.7m 7th $26 (Sr2) Yes You May Bathurst 1730m (1:57.0) R4955 race Apr 17 then checked when beaten 26m 7th $23 (Sr1) So Am I Bathurst 2260m (2:00.3) R4560 race May 17. Fitter for two recent runs and won third up last prep; lightly raced and has upside.
