Bathurst R4 BALLINGER TRANSPORT PACE

Race comment

Safely held when 9m 4th $8.00 (Sr1) The Dancer Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R3755 race May 10 then eased early when 1.7m 3rd $51 (Fr6) So Am I Bathurst 2260m (2:00.3) R4560 race May 17. Sound in all three runs this prep and fitter now; each way hope.

Race comment

Held on well when 7.7m 5th $2.30 (Sr2) Bustling Barney Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R3853 race May 6 then fought on well defeating Carinya Gold 0.4m $2.40 (Fr8) Bathurst 2260m (2:01.1) R3755 race May 17. Winner last start despite racing wide and even fitter now; could repeat but draw some concern.

Handy win $1.90 (Fr7) defeating Jilliby Monkey 5.2m Bathurst 1730m (2:01.4) R4049 race May 3 then eased early when 32.5m 8th $41 (Fr8) Misdemeanor Bathurst 1730m (1:56.1) 3R4054 race May 17. Mixed form to date but had a minor excuse last start and not out of it on solid win in weaker company two back.

Raced wide early and raced wide when 31.5m 9th $6.50 (Fr5) The Dancer Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R3755 race May 10 then won $14 (Fr6) narrowly defeating Courageous Beau 0.4m Bathurst 2260m (2:00.4) R4354 race May 17. Keep safe on latest effort.
