Bathurst Race 4 - Bathurst Rsl Soldiers Saddle Heat Two
DEAR DARLING (4) put the writing on the wall with a second from this barrier two back before she assumed control early and went on to score at Parkes last week, arriving 5.5 metres ahead of her rivals. Leading hope. FUNDA (5) kept the ball rolling last time when 3.4 metres from the winner in second at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but has been building towards a win with four placings from her last six starts. JEWEL MISTRESS (9) has come from wider on this row in both starts since a spell and showed improvement last time. Draws for a trail and won her lone third-up attempt so could be ready to show her best. ALWAYS LIGHTNING (8) draws deep but is going well having placed in his last two outings.
