Races SRX Bathurst

Resumed with a plain sixth at Goulburn over 1100m, settling back, covering ground and finishing beaten just over seven lengths after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was also well below his best when last in a BM66 at Nowra on heavy ground. A sharp turnaround is required.

Produced a 101.0 upset at Wagga last start, travelling just off the lead before edging out Kenny's Swans by a head. Happy to look elsewhere.

Went close in Open grade at Dubbo last start, finishing second to The Bentley and beaten just over half a length after being steadied at the start. She had also run second in a BM50 at the same venue, so the recent form is genuine, and the drop from carrying 63kg to 59kg is meaningful. Knocking on the door and can't be discounted.

Worked home from well back for third at Dubbo on heavy ground last start, finding the frame despite racing keenly through the middle stages. His Narromine run prior over 1600m was poor, but he is far better suited by this distance profile, with two wins and five placings from nine starts at the trip. More a place profile than a clear win play.

Finished within a length and a half of Wolf Island in a Class 2 at Goulburn last start, picking up well after settling back and being held up near the 100m. She had interference when favourite in a BM55 at Canberra before that, so recent results read better than the finishing positions. Has saluted at this track and trip previously and this looks a good opportunity for her to bounce back.

Returns from a five-month break with a latest second at Kembla Grange trial suggesting she has come back in reasonable order. She ended last campaign with a plain last at Tamworth after being tightened near the 1200m, and her Scone run prior in Class 2 on heavy ground was also safely held. Looks primed for a bold showing first-up for the new stable.

Led in a BM55 at Canberra last start and was still there into the lane before tiring late, finishing fifth and beaten just over three lengths at big odds. He had followed a similar pattern at Queanbeyan when sixth, again unable to sustain his run. Others look stronger.

Was only fair through the line when fifth at Dubbo on heavy ground, beaten seven lengths after being bumped and blocked early. Her previous fourth in Open grade behind The Bentley was more encouraging, especially as she was near the top of betting and had some inconvenience approaching the 1300m. Won't be far away on her recent form.

Made a winning debut at Canberra in a Mdn, settling rearward before producing a big finish to beat Amahtrom by a long neck. He was at generous odds there and did have to steady passing the 200m, which adds merit to the performance rather than taking away from it. That was an impressive win and with improvement likely, he's the most appealing.

Charged home from well back for second in Open grade at Dubbo last start, beaten a length and a half after being steadied early, and that was a solid effort at long odds. Looking to others.

Has finished ninth at both recent Class 1 runs, most recently at Orange where he was beaten just over nine lengths after being hampered near the 500m. He was also unwanted in betting at Dubbo before that and made no impression after early trouble. Quick back-up helps only if he finds a much sharper finish.
