Bathurst R2 MOORHEAD CRANES PACE

Race comment

Galloped out when 11.2m 7th $1.80 (Fr3) Smooth Sailor Bathurst 2260m (2:00.0) R6394 race May 13 then raced well when 4.2m 4th $1.70 (Fr2) Beetson Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6694 race May 20. Overall form solid and had a genuine excuse for unplaced run two back; one to beat from a soft draw here.

Ran 13m 4th $4.40 (Sr2) Cowgirls N Angels NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5665 race May 22 then broke during running when 14.5m 6th $4.20 (Sr2) Lucky Nutter Bathurst 1730m (1:57.3) R5666 race Jun 3. Fitter for two recent starts and yet to miss a place from 3 third up runs including 2 wins; this slightly tougher but contender nevertheless.

Eased early when 18.5m 6th $41 (Fr5) Aphorism Bathurst 1730m (1:55.5) R5677 race May 22 then beaten 20m 4th $34 (Fr2) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R5979 race May 31. Minor place prospect.

Finished 19.7m 8th $26 (Fr2) Firestorm Red Bathurst 1730m (1:55.1) R6495 race May 27 then beaten 37m 7th $34 (Fr3) Life Lavros NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.5) R6170 race Jun 3. Safely held here.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 9m 5th $51 (Fr5) Dark Terror Bathurst 2260m (1:58.3) R4969 race May 13 then battled on gamely defeating Myra Dawn 0.1m $6.50 (Fr5) Bathurst 2260m (1:59.3) R4870 race May 20. Should not be taken lightly on latest effort.

Race comment

Good effort when 2.7m 2nd $7.50 (Sr1) La Player Bathurst 2260m (1:58.4) R5670 race May 27 then ran 14.7m 4th $4.20 (Fr1) Life Lavros NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.5) R6170 race Jun 3. Usually thereabouts and worth including in the exotics.

Race comment

Ran 14.5m 2nd $11 (Fr5) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R5979 race May 31 then sound effort when 10.5m 2nd $8.00 (Fr2) Life Lavros NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.5) R6170 race Jun 3. In the mix on consistent recent form.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 28.5m 9th $15 (Sr3) College Chapel Bathurst 2260m (1:57.8) R5069 race May 20 then raced well when 2.2m 2nd $11 (Fr1) Firestorm Red Bathurst 1730m (1:55.1) R6495 race May 27. Bounced back with a sound second last start and suited here; respect.

Race comment

Finished 4m 3rd $16 (Sr1) La Player Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) R5671 race May 20 then eased early and raced roughly when 44.5m 9th $21 (Fr4) Life Lavros NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.5) R6170 race Jun 3. Mixed form in two runs this prep and need to treat warily.
