Bathurst R7 LION NATHAN MAIDEN PACE

Race comment

Out of position at the start and eased early when 0.2m 2nd $4.20 (Fr7) Skyz Above Bathurst 1730m (1:58.3) R3950 race May 17 then out of position at the start when 5.5m 2nd $3.80 (Fr6) Crazy Shippo Bathurst 1730m (2:01.2) R3950 race May 22. Consecutive seconds at past two runs and capable of winning this with a cleaner getaway.

Race comment

Eased early when 14.7m 7th $14 (Fr4) Sporty Frank Bathurst 2260m (2:00.0) 3R3351 race May 13 then eased early, broke during running and tightened during running when 55m 10th $21 (Fr7) Valenteeno Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R4247 race May 22. Looks vulnerable here.

Race comment

Finished 4.5m 3rd (Fr1) Im The One Bathurst 1730m (2:01.5) R3750 race Jan 6 then beaten 2m 2nd $16 (Sr2) Sporty Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R3450 race May 22. Sound 2nd at this track last start when resuming but is 0 from 2 second up.

Ran 16m 6th $8.50 (Fr1) Jimmy Tulhurst Bathurst 1730m (2:01.4) R4049 race May 3 then tightened during running and checked when 0.7m 3rd $34 (Fr2) Skyz Above Bathurst 1730m (1:58.3) R3950 race May 17. Sound effort when 3rd at last start and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

Ran 14m 6th $9.00 (Fr5) Sporty Frank Bathurst 2260m (2:00.0) 3R3351 race May 13 then eased early and raced wide late when 3.2m 4th $51 (Fr8) Valenteeno Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R4247 race May 22. Close up last start; expected to run well here.

Race comment

Finished 9.7m 6th $41 (Fr2) Tom The Curious Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) R3450 race Apr 17 then beaten 18.2m 6th $7.50 (Fr3) Sporty Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R3450 race May 22. Place claims here with added fitness.

Eased early when 34m 7th $51 (Fr6) Holy Camp Dillon Bathurst 1730m (1:58.2) R3149 race May 17 then checked when beaten 26.5m 7th $31 (Fr5) Valenteeno Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R4247 race May 22. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Finished 37m 9th $15 (Sr1) Holy Camp Dillon Bathurst 1730m (1:58.2) R3149 race May 17 then broke at the start when 27m 8th $23 (Sr1) Valenteeno Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R4247 race May 22. Will need to lift ratings.

Race comment

Finished 16.5m 3rd $8.50 (Fr2) Holy Camp Dillon Bathurst 1730m (1:58.2) R3149 race May 17 then solid effort when 9.5m 5th $2.50 (Fr2) Valenteeno Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R4247 race May 22. Recent form solid and yet to peak; contender.

Race comment

Resuming. Finished 13.2m 5th $21 (Fr2) Taumalolo Parkes 2040m (2:03.6) 3R4550 race Aug 2 then beaten 15.7m 4th $10.00 (Fr5) Scallywag Scout Bathurst 1730m (2:01.6) 3F4049 race Aug 21. Unlikely starter.
