Bathurst Race 7 - Steve Turnbull - Bathurst Trainer Of The Year Pace
AURORA JENNY (4) produced a strong performance last time out when she led and fought on for second at Dubbo, beaten 1.7 metres. Can push forward again from this draw and her recent form is good enough to put her right in the finish. GRACE SHANNON (2) made a nice return from a wider barrier at her latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 2 metres away in second at this venue. Fitter and should enjoy an economical run from this draw. MAGIC CAPTAIN (10) was able to find the front from this barrier last start and fought on as runner-up at Goulburn. Could go one better. CALM FRANCO (9) draws for a trail and and showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up at Junee.

Returned to racing last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 5th-9.24 beaten 2 m by Pyekakariki (2:05.40) in MAIDEN on March 12 at $6. Will improve with that run under the belt. Likely to play a major role with added fitness.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Make Mine Merican at Dubbo over 2120m in a MAIDEN on March 7 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Krista Bellita at Junee over 2170m in a MAIDEN on March 18 at $10. Among the exotic chances.
