Bathurst R7 BALLINGER TRANSPORT 3YO PACE

Race comment

Good effort when 0.5m 2nd $12 (Fr1) Warra Downs Bathurst 1730m (1:59.3) R3550 race Jun 10. Solid second on debut and while this is harder definite contender, nevertheless, with natural improvement.

Race comment

Hung in during the race when 11.5m 5th $8.00 (Fr2) Cambo Blaster Bathurst 1730m (1:57.7) R4855 race Jun 10 then raced wide late, hung in during the race and broke during running when beaten 65m 10th $4.60 (Sr1) Feelgood Express Bathurst 1730m (2:00.5) 3R4552 race Jun 17. Raced wide late last start and not out of it on sound previous form.

Ran 17m 5th $31 (Sr1) Our Antonio Rose Bathurst 2260m the 3F-LR Gold Bracelet Consolation (lr) Mar 28 then safely held when 6m 5th $3.60 (Fr5) Feelgood Express Bathurst 1730m (2:00.5) 3R4552 race Jun 17. Even effort first up last start and has won one from two second up; each way.

Galloped out when 66.5m 10th $18 (Fr3) Blaze Edition Bathurst 1730m (1:59.4) R4355 race May 22 then out of position at the start, hung out and raced roughly when beaten 16m 7th $151 (Fr8) Feelgood Express Bathurst 1730m (2:00.5) 3R4552 race Jun 17. Others in better form.

Resuming from a spell. Checked and broke and failed to get a clear run when 5.7m 6th $61 (Sr3) Bettor Back Louey Penrith 2125m (2:00.7) 3R4755 race Feb 27 then raced wide late when 32m 9th $34 (Sr4) Shoobee Doo Young 1720m (1:57.3) R4950 race Mar 13. Back from a spell and winner on debut last prep his only career win in 14 starts; could repeat if primed.

Race comment

First start since spell. Eased early when 25.5m 8th $21 (Fr8) Endeavour Stride Menangle 1609m (1:56.0) R3550 race Apr 6 then beaten 13m 2nd $9.50 (Fr1) Master Gouda Menangle 1609m (1:55.8) R3350 race Apr 17. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; sound third on debut last prep and worth including in the exotics.

Race comment

By Shadow Play USA out of Leslie Jay facing starter for first time. Trial form sound but has a sticky draw here.

Race comment

Finished 10.7m 6th $9.50 (Sr2) No Nay Never Bathurst 1730m (2:00.2) 3R3352 race May 3 then beaten 8.5m 6th $31 (Sr2) Feelgood Express Bathurst 1730m (2:00.5) 3R4552 race Jun 17. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Tightened during running, had a flat tyre and failed to get a clear run when 6m 7th $5.00 (Fr1) Jaytees Hat Parkes 1660m (2:05.2) R3550 race Jun 7 then won $101 (Fr2) narrowly defeating Marni White 0.4m Bathurst 1730m (2:00.5) 3R4552 race Jun 17. Lightly raced last start winner but drawn poorly here.
