Bathurst Race 4 - Ultra Air Hondo Grattan Sprint
WORKS FOR ME NZ (5) was far from disgraced against some good mares at Menangle last start and had recorded a win and a close second in her previous two outings here. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit so has strong claims. SHEZ SWEET LOUISE (7) has finished midfield in her last two appearances at Menangle but will relish the return to this venue where she has won her three attempts, all of them at this distance. Big chance to maintain that perfect record. WHILEMENA RITA (1) jumps in grade but is on the up. Came from a wide barrier for an impressive win when resuming and should get every chance from the ace draw. STILL ROLLIN (10) owns a good strike rate and could be dangerous. Something for the Multiples: STILL ROLLIN NZ (10) SHEZ SWEET LOUISE NZ (7) REBOUNDER (9)

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at Menangle was 4th-4.6m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 8 m by Supa American (1:49.90) in NR up to 80 on March 14 at $6.

Unbeaten here and could maintain that perfect record.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last start. 3rd (Sr1) over 1730m at this track was 7th-12.41 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Happy Reg (2:02.70) in NR up to 60 on March 12 at $21. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Bettor Keppel at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 75 on March 5 at $23. Not keen this time.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 10th (Fr9) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 40 m by Timmy Rictor (1:51.20) in NR up to 80 on March 14 at $81. May need more racing.
