Bankstown Race 7 - The Tab App Pace
CAPTAIN BLOOD (1) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 11 metres into eighth at Penrith over 1720m. Drawn to advantage on this occasion and is good enough to win a race of this calibre. FLO RYDA NZ (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in second over 1720m at Penrith. Primary contender based on recent form. EYEKNOW (7) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Menangle five weeks ago. OHWHATIWOULDGIVE (3) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished eighth last start over 1980m at Tamworth, coming home 25 metres from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can bounce back.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith was 10th-18.9m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 11 m by Admirable (2:03.30) in NR up to 55 on January 22 at $21. The run prior 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 23 m by Red Reactor (1:53.10) in NR up to 75 on January 20 at $61. Finds a nice race and can improve.

Last start 8th (Sr2) over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 25 m by Heza Doozie (2:26.10) in NR up to 65 on March 5 at $12.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind She Who Dares at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 52 on March 5 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Shevchenko at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 58 on March 12 at $6. Will be right in the thick of things.
