Bathurst Race 5 - Pfd Foods Smooth Satin Pacing Cup
ROCKU (6) will be fitter for his resuming fourth when he came from a wider draw to be beaten 5.4 metres. He raced well against the good three-year-olds last campaign and will enjoy the step up to a distance where he has won four of seven attempts. SMOOTH BUZZ (10) will find this easier than the last attempt at Menangle and recorded a strong win at this venue prior. He will enjoy the longer distance having won five of the eight times he has attempted it here. HE AINT FAKIN (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, putting together a series of wins and placings including a victory from a similar barrier to this here two back. OUR GOAT (4) backs up off a third at Menangle on Saturday. Draws well and is working up to a win.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 2nd (Fr1) over 2120m at Dubbo, at the bell was 5th-9.7m on the pegs beaten 6 m by Kadar (2:35.20) in NR up to 60 on March 23 at $19. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth behind Bettor Keppel at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 80 on March 12 at $126. This looks a tough task.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr4) over 1730m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 22 m by Novanta Rising (2:00.50) in NR up to 65 on March 12 at $15. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr3) over 1730m at this track was 8th-12.65 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Smooth Buzz (2:01.70) in NR up to 90 on February 26 at $81. One for the exotics.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Bettor Keppel at this track over 2260m in a NR up to 80 on March 12 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Franco Tyson at Menangle over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on March 22 at $9. Working up to a win.

Continued his steady form from last campaign first-up. Returned to racing with a was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 7th-12.2m 2WWC beaten 5.5 m by Ryans Gangster (2:03.80) in NR up to 90 on March 5 at $5. Fitter and has winning claims.

Two runs back won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:01.00) beating Zeuss Bromac in No NR on February 19 at $6 at the bell was leading 3.9m on the pegs. Going along well. Capable of taking this out.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind South Coast Arden at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 90 on November 13 at $11. Still to win when fresh but has recorded three minor placings from as many starts.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind He Aint Fakin at this track over 1730m in a No NR on February 19 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Novanta Rising at this track over 1730m in a NR up to 65 on March 12 at $2.20. Consider.
