Bathurst Race 3 - Bathurst Rsl Soldiers Saddle Heat One
HOOKED ON WINNING NZ (4) looks close to a win after placing in two of his last three starts here. Turned in a good effort at his latest appearance when third over this distance, beaten 5 metres. Could break through. ULTIMATE COOKIE (2) made it four placings on the bounce last start when she recovered from a poor start to finish 2.3 metres from the winner in second at this venue. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. MULLUM AXEL (8) draws wide but did a good job to work to the front before digging deep for a last-start win by a head at Parkes. CARBAGANOOSH (7) comes back in grade and could measure up.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cerise Rainbow at Parkes over 1660m in a NR up to 48 on December 31 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Wee Bit Bettor at this track over 2260m in a 0-1 WIN on January 9 at $4. Draws well and looks close to a win.
